The effectiveness of the psychologist, in this particular type of work – psychological assistance to those who have experienced the loss-death of a loved one, depends not only on his knowledge, practical skills, competence, but also, perhaps primarily on his psychological readiness for this type of work, his attitude to the phenomenon of «death». Unfortunately, practice shows that among practicing psychologists, there is a group that refuses to work with clients who have survived the death of loved ones and offer to see another psychologist or their psychological help is not effective, but they are well versed in the appropriate amount of knowledge, practical skills on this issue. The reason is the topic of «death» for the psychologist itself, which is traumatic, and the term itself is too stressful. From this follows a clear mismatch between the huge demands of clients for this type of psychological care and the psychological readiness of the psychologist for this type of work.
