Disruptions In Childhood: Reworking Unexpected Separations
January 25, 2019Friday, January 25 | 6 to 8 p.m.
Ben Garber, MD | Renee Raap, LCSW
Unanticipated losses occur during the lives of many children, through death, divorce, incarceration and other traumas. As a child deals with these losses in therapy, the parent can either enhance the child’s ongoing development or create further disruption. Working with parents to understand their own needs and responses to loss supports the child’s progressive development. Two case presentations will illustrate how the therapist can facilitate this growth.
Benjamin Garber is director emeritus of the Chicago Psychoanalytic Institute’s Child Grief Services and a training and supervising analyst at the Institute. Renee Rapp is a graduate of the Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy Program and a therapist in Child Grief Services.
