| Annotation | The establishment of hospices in the US has resulted in an increase in bereavement services available to clients experiencing loss. Many of these services - such as educational and peer support groups - are provided without screening or assessment of risk for complicated bereavement in the individuals who use them. Whilst acceptance of uncomplicated bereavement is important, so too is assessment for complicated bereavement, to ensure that appropriate services are offered to those at risk for problematic adjustment. This article reviews the literature on risk criteria for complicated bereavement, and proposes a method both for assessing risk and matching service to level of need, based on these criteria.
