Sintesi	The Disenfranchised Grief Scale (DGS), developed from Kenneth J. Doka's conceptual framework, assesses grief that society does not recognize, validate, or support—grief that is excluded from public mourning rituals, openly acknowledged grief ceremonies, or institutional support. Examples include loss of a former spouse, affair partner, ex-partner, friend (not family), pet, or pregnancy loss. The DGS captures the unique burden of grieving without social permission or recognition.	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.
