Abstract
Mentally handicapped people are increasingly being subjected to the stresses of everyday life, and bereavement represents a particularly potent stress. This report considers the case of a mentally handicapped woman whose difficulty in mourning and expressing and sharing grief had a profound effect on her recovery from bereavement and led to her developing an affective psychosis.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
