TY - JOUR TI - Grieving child – review of the selected theoretical approaches AU - Borucka-Iwańska, Aneta AU - Dołęga, Zofia TI - Grieving child – review of the selected theoretical approaches AB - A child’s grievance usually consists in a sudden violation of the emotional attachment and a chronic feeling of the existential threat. This may have a fundamental impact on the further development of the child. Unfortunately, the scarcity of research on the subject, both concerning the perception of the child itself and the process of grief, often involves not only the diagnostic difficulties, but also the selection of therapeutic procedures that can be discussed in terms of evidence-based programs. The subject of this article is a critical review of the theoretical positions related to child mourning, including its complex and traumatic nature.
