The act of homicide specifically influences the clinical presentation of subsequent bereavement. Retrospective reports of 15 individuals who lost a relative through homicide revealed cognitive, behavioral, and affective reactions associated with the homicide.

The identification of bereaved individuals with the homicide and the therapeutic implications of bereavement after homicide are discussed.
