本文主张发展一种跨学科的青少年心理学，重点关注人们普遍存在的常识性体验以及对自己和他人生活中损失的认识。该领域的定义可能比创伤学、死亡学、压力和应对等相关领域更广泛。损失心理学侧重于对死亡和离婚等事件造成的重大损失的感知，也关注与失业、身体机能丧失、成为暴力或偏见（包括种族灭绝）等不同现象有关的重大损失的感知。该领域的一个重要研究课题涉及人们的生活中重大损失如何相互关联的故事。有人认为，感知损失是一种关键的现象状态，必须在适应最重要的压力源时加以处理。
This article argues for the development of an interdisciplinary psychology of lass that is focused on people's pervading commonsense experience and recognition of loss in their own and others' lives. This field may be defined as broader than related fields such as traumatology, thanatology, and stress and coping. The psychology of loss focuses on the perception of major loss deriving from events such as death and divorce, bur also on the perception of major loss in connection with such diverse phenomena as loss of employment, loss of bodily functioning, and being the target of violence or prejudice, including genocide. An important research topic for this field concerns people's stories of how major losses are interrelated in their lives. It is argued that perceived loss is a critical phenomenal state that must be dealt with in adaptation to most significant stressors.
