Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

In the stage of detachment the person realizes the permanence of the loss and expresses readiness to move forward. This is what the patient is doing when planning to begin a new job and move to a new community. The protest phase is marked by a lack of acceptance of the loss. In despair, the person's behavior becomes disorganized. Anger is not a stage in Bowlby's theory of attachment.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

According to Freud's theory of grief and loss, the inability to grieve a loss results in depression. This is what the patient is experiencing by the inability to sleep and seeing no reason to continue living without his spouse. Grieving is the inner labor of mourning a loss. The patient is not grieving. Emancipation and denial are not elements of Freud's theory of grief and loss.
