FEATURES OF PSYCHOLOGICAL REHABILITATION OF AN ADULT PERSONALITY IN A STATE OF ACUTE GRIEF

Abstract

The article examines the psychological and neurophysiological characteristics of acute grief in adulthood and identifies effective strategies for psychological rehabilitation following the loss of a significant other. The study analyzes the physiological, emotional, cognitive, and behavioral manifestations of grief, its impact on mental health and social functioning, and the risk factors associated with the development of self-destructive behavior, including suicidal ideation and maladaptive coping patterns. The neurophysiological mechanisms accompanying acute grief are examined. It is elucidated how individual factors, social support, and genetic predisposition influence the intensity and duration of the grieving process.

The paper further explores the influence of individual psychological traits, attachment patterns, previous traumatic experiences, the availability of social support, and genetic predispositions on the intensity, duration, and trajectory of the grieving process. Acute grief is conceptualized within a biopsychosocial framework, emphasizing the dynamic interaction between biological vulnerability, psychological resilience, and socio-environmental resources.

Special emphasis is placed on the staged structure of psychological support: initial crisis stabilization, the active therapeutic phase, and the final stage of rehabilitation with the possibility of follow-up care. The integration of contemporary psychotherapeutic approaches is substantiated, including cognitive-behavioral interventions, meaning-centered and existential techniques, trauma-informed care, body-oriented methods, and psychoeducation. It is demonstrated that a comprehensive and individualized rehabilitation program promotes emotional stabilization, restoration of internal resources, reconstruction of personal meaning systems, and adaptive adjustment to life changes while preventing the development of prolonged or complicated grief.
