Services for bereaved children
There has been a notable expansion in community-
based services for bereaved children. Yet, quanti-
tative evaluations of controlled bereavement inter-
ventions have highlighted few positive treatment
effects [19,20]. Treatment effects may be limited
by the fact that it is not necessarily the level of
child distress that determines who receives ser-
vices [5], and that outcomes judged in terms of
changes in psychopathology may be ill-matched
to therapeutic inputs [19]. Interventions are nei-
ther neutral nor always helpful and infrequently
measure potentially negative outcomes, such as an
increase in child distress.
