THE TRAJECTORY OF A PERSON’S LIFE AFTER LOSS

Abstract

The article presents the justification of the results of the dynamics of growth of psychological health indicators of families who lost relatives in the war. The program of empirical research of the formative experiment based on the rehabilitation project «Recovery during the War» is presented. The sample of subjects studied was represented by women who lost their husbands in the war and their children who are in the acute (up to six months after the loss) and complicated (a year after the loss) phases of grief. The proposed psychological psychotherapeutic program is aimed at stabilizing the emotional state of participants, preventing the development of PTSD and CPTSD, and complicated grief. This makes the study relevant. The assumption that the rehabilitation program provided to families with loss will contribute to their recovery and reduce the indicators of post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and depression is substantiated. The goal of the program for the restoration of families with a loss during the war is to provide the necessary psychological interventions based on a systemic-integrative approach that combines physical and mental practices. It has been shown that a phased intervention in the rehabilitation process determines the organization of the rehabilitation process of individuals with a loss during the war.The article presents the results of an empirical study of the condition of women who have experienced the loss of their husbands in war and are forming a longer life trajectory. It presents a generalization of the themes of psychological inquiries that psychologists work with to restore and guide families with the loss of a father during each stage of rehabilitation.A list of problems that victims addressed during the rehabilitation period is provided. Effective methods of intervention by psychologists for participants in the project «Recovery during War» are described. Indicators of the recovery outcome are provided. The dynamics of changes in clinical indicators of the health of women and children were found. The dynamics of changes in the condition of the project participants was processed using the Wilcoxon index, which is reflected in graphs and tables. We see further prospects for our research in improving the course «Psychology of Personal Life Creativity».
