|I examine how grief has become constructed by the psy-disciplines as a pathology, and the impact this approach to viewing grief has had on contemporary grievers. I argue that the psy-disciplines have constructed grief as a disorder so as to claim a role in professionally treating grief. Further, I argue that the construction of grief by mainstream psychology has influenced North American norms in the modern world. I show how these grief norms are reiterated in medical/psychological discourses, in mainstream media, and in public policy. By tracing the development of grief theory, originally conceived by Freud within a psychoanalytic framework, to the current conceptualization of grief within the disease model, I show how grief theory has evolved within the discipline of psychology to become a) an object worthy of scientific study within the discipline and subsequently, b) a pathology to be privatized specialized, and treated by mental health professionals. Subsequent chapters examine the impact of psychological classifications on people's experiences of grieving. I argue that the power of the psy-disciplines to construct categories of human experience actively constructs new ways of being, thinking, and feeling when it comes to the expression and experience of grief. Using examples of mainstream media such as film, television, newspapers, magazines, self-help books, and memoirs, I show how the psy-construction of grief becomes thoroughly looped into people's consciousness so that the notion of pathological grief becomes the norm for people. I also examine three intertwined cultural discourses that support and enforce the psy-construction of pathological grief including fear of the body and emotions, the denial of death, and subsequently the denial of grief, and the contemporary progress narrative that does not allow for expressions of prolonged sadness. I show that a significant outcome of all three of these discourses that support the construction of pathological grief is a sense of shame and embarrassment for the mourner. The last chapter examines how modern grieving trends can be interpreted as new forms of rituals that have arisen in response to a culture that does not tolerate grieving, and offers no protocol on how to mourn one's losses.|--Leaves iv-v.
