The Death of a Child– Attachment Grief: A New Clinical Perspective
Dana Lerner, LCSW
2 CE Credits
Date & Time: Friday, February 26, 2021 at 12:00-2:00pm
Location: Zoom
The death of a child is a topic that many people avoid discussing. The grief is distinctive and often misunderstood. This workshop provides a unique perspective as the therapist describes her own experience as a bereaved mother, and what she has come to understand through this painful process. By revisiting Attachment Theory, Dana Lerner has formulated a new way of conceptualizing the power of the bond between mother and child, and other significant relationships, and how to approach these losses clinically.
Dana Lerner, LCSW is a graduate of the Four Year Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy training program at the Institute For Contemporary Psychotherapy. She has been in private practice for over 25 years and works with Individuals, Couples and Families treating Anxiety Disorders, Depression, OCD, Bereavement, and PTSD. She is trained in Modern Analytic Group Therapy and runs groups for trauma survivors and bereaved adults. Treatment modalities include CBT, DBT, and Sensory Motor Psychotherapies. She is certified in EMDR Levels I and 2 and completed a teacher training in Meditation and Loving Kindness in 2019.
Dana Lerner is a founding member of Families For Safe Streets (FSS) which confronts the epidemic of traffic violence through advocacy and emotional support. In 2015 she created CooperStock’sWay.org , a non profit 501C3 that raises money for children in need. Since it’s inception, hundreds of children have attended the Coops Hoop’s Basketball Camp. In addition, plans are currently underway to build a new state of the art elementary through high school in the small town of Thiewa, Beyla in Guinea, Africa.

Dr. Reilly Kayser is a clinical research fellow at Columbia University and the New York State Psychiatric Institute (NYSPI). He received his undergraduate degree in psychology and behavioral neuroscience from Yale University, after which he spent two years as a post-baccalaureate research fellow at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH).

Dr. Kayser’s NIMH-funded research focuses on applying experimental medicine methodologies to develop targeted treatments for severe psychiatric illnesses like obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
