Summary:
A recent change in the mental health field has upset therapists and grievers alike, as one type of grief was recently tagged with a DSM-5 diagnosis code, making it an official mental health disorder. Marj and I discuss this and come to a conclusion. See if you agree.

Notes:
Marj Smith, LCSW, has over 15 years of experience  with specialties in grief and life transitions, as well as a variety of challenges experienced as adults. She is a member of the Association for Death Education and Counseling (ADEC) and obtained her MSW in 2004 from Roberts Wesleyan University in Rochester, NY.  Her varied career has offered her the opportunity to develop skills in many settings.
