Explain Wortman and Silver's approach to grieving. How does it differ from other perspectives?
What will be an ideal response?
In general, the stages of grief proposed by Kübler-Ross, Bowlby, and Sanders emphasize the inevitability and necessity of a "head-on" approach to grieving. Their belief tends to be that if the person denies or refuses to express their grief, then this will result in prolonged grieving or physical or mental problems later. Other theorists have proposed that people who show little or no grief response actually fare better than those who grieve severely. Wortman and Silver propose that there are at least four different patterns of grieving, including absent grieving, in which a person feels no notable level of distress.
