Very often I'm working with people that are impaired by a traumatic spinal cord injury. People elaborate this loss along some more-or-less-defined phases, that are very alike to the phases of grief.
Usually the period of grief ends with the possibility, for the person, to put his/her resources on new objectives.
However in the case of acquired disabilities the entity of the loss is enormous and may impair each future scenario.
Are there studies, based on a cognitive - behavioural framework, that may help me to better understand how to face these problems?

Dear Michaele,
we published a detailed manual - one for outpatients and another one for inpatiens. It is only availabe in German. But maybe you have options for translations?

Hi Michele,
it's great that you are looking into this. In addition to th literature mentioned above, I would suggest considering the rationale behind and techniques of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT, for example Hayes, S. C., Strosahl, K. D., & Wilson, K. G. (1999). Acceptance and Commitment Therapy: An experiential approach to behavior change. New York, NY: Guilford Press.).
Best regards
Franziska
Thansk a lot for the very interesting answers.
@ Prof. Rosner: unfortunatelly I cannot read German, and a translation is too expensive. However I've found some articles of yours concerning this topic ("Prolonged grief: Setting the research agenda", "Treatment of complicated grief" and "Effectiveness of an inpatient group therapy for comorbid complicated grief disorder") which will be helpful, and I hope to find some concepts explained in the German book.
@ Prof. Ewalds-Kvist and Mr. Singh: thanks a lot for the articles. I will read them as soon as possible.
@ Stamatopoulou and Meichsner: thanks a lot for your suggestion. I will study ACT and mindfulness as soon as possbile.
