Uncovering and Healing Hidden Wounds: Using GIM to Resolve Complicated and Disenfranchised Grief
Smith, Barbara J. - Volume: 5
Clients come to therapy with a variety of presenting problems and symptoms; the author maintains that unresolved grief is at the root of most. This paper defines grief in such a
manner that psychotherapists can more easily identify and facilitate its expression and uncover the loss which may have been hidden or obscured by less obvious symptoms and problems. Case
examples are provided to illustrate how The Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music [GIM] can be used to facilitate the resolution of this complicated grief.
