abstract="The concept of disenfranchised grief is generalized to the understanding of the recovery process for adult children Of dysfunctional families. The recovery Process of this population is described as parallel to the grief process, which can best be understood from a disenfranchised grief perspective. Two layers of unrecognized loss are identified: the loss of one's childhood and the loss of one's fantasized and idealized parent. On the basis of my clinical experiences with this population, I suggest specific therapeutic strategies and techniques that use a disenfranchised grief approach.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
