Abstract
It is unethical to introduce services for the bereaved that are not well founded and evaluated; yet there are special difficulties in conducting research with bereaved people. This situation has deterred some from carrying out research in this field and has caused others to place obstacles in the way of would-be researchers. The ethical difficulties of bereavement research are described, and guidelines are provided that should enable investigators to carry out research without harming those who offer their help and without violating the scientific value of the research.Keywords
