ICG/Evidence
Method evidence record

ICG

The Inventory of Complicated Grief (ICG) is a 19-item self-report measure developed by Prigerson and colleagues in 1995 to assess complicated grief—a persistent, impairing form of grief that goes beyond typical bereavement. Designed to distinguish complicated grief from bereavement-related depression, the ICG has become the gold-standard screening and diagnostic instrument in bereavement research and clinical practice.
