Abstract

Losing a parent is a traumatic event that can impact a child's self-acceptance and emotional well-being.  Sincere therapy is an approach that integrates aspects of spirituality in the process of healing and accepting loss.  This research aims to explore the effectiveness of sincere therapy in helping children who have lost one of their parents to achieve self-acceptance.  The research method used is a qualitative 
approach with a single case study design.  The research participants consisted of teenagers aged 20 years who had lost one of their parents and had attended sincere therapy sessions for 1 week.  Data was collected through in-depth interviews and participant observation.  Data analysis was carried out using an inductive 
qualitative approach, focusing on findings and patterns that emerged from participant narratives.  Research findings will be interpreted to understand how sincerity therapy influences the self-acceptance process of children who have experienced the loss of a parent.  It is hoped that the results of this research 
will provide in-depth insight into the effectiveness of sincere therapy in helping children overcome grief and trauma due to the loss of a parent, as well as provide a basis for developing better interventions in the context of acceptance for bereaved children.
