A quasi-experimental trial of narrative reconstruction for prolonged grief disorder: Symptomatic improvement and enhanced memory integration.

Background: Prolonged grief disorder (PGD) was recently approved as a formal diagnosis in the DSM-5-TR. The implementation of bereavement interventions is frequently requested, but their effectiveness has been controversial. Narrative reconstruction (NR) is a time-limited integrative therapy, originally developed for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and adapted for the treatment of PGD.

Sleep of mothers, fathers, and infants: a longitudinal study from pregnancy through 12 months.

Methods: Two hundred and thirty-two couples were recruited for the study during pregnancy.

Narrative reconstruction therapy for prolonged grief disorder: Basic interventions and mechanisms of change.

Narrative reconstruction is a time-limited integrative therapy, originally developed in the context of post-traumatic stress disorder and adjusted for the treatment of prolonged grief disorder (PGD). It consists of exposure to the loss memory and narrating a detailed written reconstruction of it. In this paper, we describe narrative reconstruction interventions and modifications for the treatment of PGD as well as the underlying mechanisms of change including integration of the loss episode into the life narrative.

Relationship satisfaction during COVID-19: The role of partners' perceived support and attachment.

Objective: The main goal of this study was to examine the interplay between individuals' attachment insecurity and their perceptions of their partners' COVID-related behaviors (supportive and negative behaviors) in predicting their relationship satisfaction.

Background: Stress is a well-documented risk factor for relationship satisfaction. COVID-19 related stressors thus pose a challenge to maintaining relationship satisfaction.

Objective and subjective sleep and caregiving feelings in mothers of infants: a longitudinal daily diary study.

A longitudinal study of the links between maternal and infant nocturnal wakefulness.

Study Objectives: To examine the longitudinal links between maternal and infant nocturnal wakefulness by employing a trajectory-based approach, and to assess whether the strength of these links differs as a function of sleep assessment method (actigraphy vs. self-report) and sleeping arrangements.

Methods: Maternal and infant nocturnal wakefulness were assessed with actigraphy and sleep diaries at home for 5 nights, at 3 (N = 191), 6 (N = 178), 12 (N = 155), and 18 (N = 135) months postpartum.
