Contemporary theories of grief and bereavement emphasize the role of active adaptation to loss as a factor affecting a broad range of psychosocial outcomes. Despite the substantial empirical research supporting this view, investigators typically have limited their attention to responses to the most recent losses suffered by the bereaved, rather than studying the legacy of adaptation to losses incurred across a lifetime. To provide this broader view, the authors present the History of Loss Inventory (HLI), which systematically assesses the way losses have been experienced by respondents and their perception of having adapted successfully or unsuccessfully to each. The HLI therefore could assist in psychological assessment and treatment planning, as well as permit the collection of relevant historical data in further research on bereavement.
