Working with the experience of regret in the context of end-of-life therapy
07 February 2024
There is very little empirical research that can guide clinicians on therapeutic processes of working with regret, and even less research that focuses on therapeutic work with regret experienced towards end-of-life - a distinct phase that may be accompanied by a sense of limited time and urgency.
This study aims to address this, and it is hoped that the findings will assist psychological therapy practitioners in aiding individuals who might be grappling with this nuanced experience.
