Although mostly studied in adults, clinically significant PGD symptoms have also been observed in children and adolescents. To date, no effective treatment for childhood PGD yet exists. We recently developed a nine\u2010session cognitive\u2013behavioural treatment for childhood PGD combined with five sessions of parental counselling. In the current article, we present outcomes of treatment of 10 consecutive children and adolescents turning to our university clinic with elevated PGD symptoms as their primary problem and main reason to seek therapy. Patients were significantly improved at post\u2010treatment, with large improvements in self\u2010rated PGD and post\u2010traumatic stress (effect sizes\u2009&gt;\u20090.8) and small to moderate improvement in depression and parent\u2010rated internalizing and externalizing problems (0.2\u2009&lt;\u2009effect sizes\u2009&lt;\u20090.8). Additional predictor analysis of outcomes suggested that, among other things, this treatment approach is less efficacious for children and adolescents further removed from loss and those confronted with suicidal loss. That said, the treatment appears promising, and controlled evaluation is clearly indicated.
