Online intervention for difficulties with interpersonal loss

About 10% of the people who lost their romantic partner, either by death or separation, show major difficulties to cope with this event. The present project is part of the IP212 of the NCCR LIVES and aims to support this population by implement and evaluating an online intervention in French, adapted from a program developed in German at the University of Bern by profs. Brodbeck, Berger and Znoj. We aim to further develop this program by integrating knowledge from positive psychology and relationship science.

A series of studies investigates those differences using different methods
