[Management of traumatic grief in adolescents in a psychotrauma group].

The sudden loss of a parent during adolescence causes great psychological suffering in the young person as well as multiple reorganizations within the family unit. This traumatic mourning requires appropriate care that takes into consideration both the multiple and complex effects of this loss and the collective and ritual dimensions of mourning. Through two clinical cases, we will discuss the interest of a group care device to address these dimensions.

[Trauma, grief and culture in humanitarian work].

Based on a clinical case, this work aims to illustrate the multiple dimensions and modalities of psychological support in humanitarian work. It  also shows the importance and relevance of implementing a transcultural approach when dealing with complex trauma and traumatic bereavement among refugees and asylum seekers in an emergency context.

[Bereavement and its clinical implications, conceptual developments and ways of supporting bereaved families].

Bereavement is a natural process whose scope has long been essentially social and collective before it was increasingly limited to the private sphere. In recent years, the redefinition of the various clinical manifestations of grief raises the question of diagnosis when it becomes a disorder and the question of whether or not adapted treatments are necessary in certain situations. We will place the bereavement process in a cultural and social perspective, before focusing on the centrality of rituals as a modality of support and resilience.
