CGD is relatively unresponsive to antidepressants or interpersonal psychotherapy; however, recent studies support the use of CG-targeted psychotherapy(similar to PTSD-targeted psychotherapy). Other methods of psycho-pharmacological treatment are under investigation.<unk>  grief therapy (CGT) CGT was developed in 2001 by Shear et al. (2001) and has been researched extensively by its creators and other researchers. CGT identifies the areas of CGD that is impeding the individual to grieve naturally. This is completed through a 16-weekly therapy session. These sessions are based on seven principles that help the individual understand and accept their grief, manage and monitor symptoms, think about the future, reconnect with others, tell the death story, learn to live with reminders, and connect with memories. This treatment has been found to show greater response rates and faster response times compared to interpersonal psychotherapy for CGD.
