Losing a parent causes grief that impacts the development among adolescents. This often leads to self-internalization problems, such as depression and trauma. Without intervention, grief due to parental death may cause various effects over time. This study used a single case research technique with AB design to analyze the effectiveness of ego state therapy in reducing grief. The subjects consist of 2 adolescents living in the Orphanage with prolonged grief disorder. The results of the study showed a decrease in the level of grief during and after treatment. Ego state therapy can be used to improve the conditions of adolescents experiencing grief. Copyright © 2020 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserved.
