4. 4. Feifel claimed that while theology and philosophy had grappled with the problem of death, there had been no similarly systematic study in psychiatry and psychology. The studies of bereavement and grief from Lindemann onward have addressed this deficit (Lindemann, E., "Symptomatology and Management of Acute Grief," American Journal of Acute Psychiatry 101, 1944).
