Abstract
A long-term maladaptive response to loss is contrasted with an adaptive response evolving toward resolution. The quality of general functioning and the relationship of concept of self to that of the deceased are emphasized in the case analyses. These perspectives provide valuable information on the extent of adjustment to loss and the resolution of bereavement.
