Abstract

Five different diagnostic criteria sets for pathological grief are currently used in research. Studies evaluating the performance of these sets indicate that it is not justified to generalise findings regarding prevalence rates and predictive validity across studies using different diagnostic criteria of pathological grief. We provide recommendations to move the bereavement field forward.
