My guest today is Mary-Frances O’Connor, a grief expert and neuroscientist. She is an Associate Professor of Clinical Psychology and Psychiatry at the University of Arizona and the Director of Clinical Training. Her research focuses on the physiological correlates of emotion, in particular the wide range of physical and emotional responses during bereavement, including yearning and isolation. She thinks that a clinical science approach to grieving can help improve treatment for prolonged grief disorder, which was added to the new DSM-5.
The topic is her book The Grieving Brain.
