Resumen
Introducción
El duelo es una reacción emocional normal ante la pérdida de un ser querido o de un estatus humano determinado. El duelo complicado es un constructo independiente que describe un cuadro clínico de mayor duración y gravedad luego de una determinada pérdida y que se considera cualitativamente distinto a los trastornos del afecto. La terapia interpersonal (TI) aborda cuatro elementos principales, uno de ellos el duelo.
ObjetivoRevisar la literatura existente sobre duelo, duelo patológico y tratamiento con terapia interpersonal.
ResultadosAlgunos estudios sugieren el logro de efectos adecuados al emplear TI para el manejo de la depresión y otras entidades psiquiátricas, pero son pocos los que se centran en reacciones de duelo propiamente dicho o de duelo patológico.
ConclusionesLa mayoría de estudios de TI no distinguen entre duelo normal y patológico, así como otras entidades psiquiátricas; por lo tanto, se desconoce su utilidad en estos casos y se requiere mayor investigación que contemple estas diferencias para obtener conclusiones más firmes.

Abstract
Introduction
Grief is a natural reaction human beings face when a loved one dies or a particular status is lost. Complicated grief (CG) is an independent construct that describes greater severity and longer duration as a consequence of a particular loss, which is qualitatively different from mood disorders. Interpersonal psychotherapy (IP) uses four main elements to approach patients, one of which is grief.
ObjectiveTo review the scientific literature regarding grief, complicated grief and its treatment with IP.
ResultsThere are some studies that support the use of IP in the treatment of depression and other psychiatric conditions, but only a few have addressed grief or CG directly.
ConclusionsMost IP studies do not make the distinction between normal grief, CG and other mood and anxiety disorders. Thus, its real usefulness when facing this scenario is unknown. More research having in mind these differences would yield stronger conclusions.
