1 -- According to Caplan’s theory of stress and loss, there are three factors that influence a person’s ability to deal with a loss. This patient is demonstrating the factor of “living without the assets and guidance of the lost person or resource.” Psychic pain encompasses the loss of the bond and the pain associated with coming to terms with the loss. The patient is not demonstrating an inability to handle her problems by the data provided. Emotional turmoil is not a specific factor cited in Caplan’s theory.
