Clinically significant trauma: Insights from the adaptive information processing model on grief and loss

The adaptive information processing (AIP) model, the theoretical model developed by Dr. Francine Shapiro to explain why psychopathology develops and why EMDR works to resolve it, can often be usefully applied for case conceptualization by non-EMDR therapists. In this article, the author explains how the AIP model can be used to better understand a case of complicated bereavement in a 27-year-old client, and how a treatment plan can be more sensitively developed.
