ABOUT THIS PRESENTATION

“Death will no longer be denied; we are forced to believe it; People really die; and no longer one by one, but many, often tens of thousands in a single day. And death is no longer a chance event”.

Freud wrote these words during the First World War, yet they might as well have been written today. During the Covid-19 pandemic the population of the entire world has either been sick, dying or grieving. And meanwhile, in many parts of the world, war and other kinds of epidemics including that of gun violence have also run rampant. So, we are particularly aware of loss and grief at this moment in time as well as of the need to assess not only how they are affecting each of us but also how they are affecting and shaping the children we treat.

In this talk we will think together about the psychoanalytic theories of loss, the question of whether children can grieve and the effect of various kinds of loss on children at each age and stage of development.
