I'm not thrilled with grief getting added to the DSM.
What is this going to do to hospice programs who have to keep in touch with the families for 12 months after the death of the patient? Are they going to have to hire licensed counseling staff now to do that? At present - hospice staff who work in bereavement do not have to have any kind of mental health certification. Mainly because the people who are grieving are NOT MENTALLY ILL!
