Description

The aim of this study is to clarify precisely the actual status of Japanese bereavement reactions using the Action Research Method. The descriptive data (“Grief Twenty-Statement Test: G-TST”) were collected at grief recovery workshops, which had been held to assist bereaved persons. The Semantic Contents Analysis Approach was used to analyze 484 statements, which were gathered from 52 subjects who had lost either spouse, child or parent within 2 years. Participant observation over the term of workshops was also helpful for understanding the descriptive data.<BR>Results: The descriptive data fell into the three core reaction categories: psychological, behavioral and somatic. Furthermore the psychological category consisted of 3 sub-categories. They were “mood changes”, “reminiscences” and “facing reality”. From the analysis of the extensive data contained in the “reminiscences” sub-category, it can be seen that the Japanese continue to cherish reminiscences deeply.
