MODIFYING THE IMPACT OF LOSS FOR CHILDREN IN DIVORCE
Anna Balas, M.D.
Dr. Anna Balas will discuss the painful experience of loss during divorce for children of various ages and how parents, teachers, and professionals might help ease that stress. Q&A to follow.
“Dialogues on…” events are geared towards professionals and parents who are involved with the care of children in the school and home environments. Educators, school administrators, community leaders, grandparents and parents are welcome.

Dr. Anna Balas is currently Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the Payne Whitney Division of New York Presbyterian Hospital and Weill Cornell Medical College. She is also on the faculty of, and a member of New York Psychoanalytic Society & Institute. Dr. Balas is a sought after instructor on trauma and child development for psychoanalytic candidates, residents, public/private school teachers and parents. In addition, Dr. Balas has a longstanding interest in psychoanalysis as applied to the arts. Dr. Balas has a busy private practice for adult, adolescent and child psychiatry and psychoanalysis in Manhattan. Given the prevalence of separation and divorce, Dr. Balas has pondered at length on finding ways to help children master their experiences of loss when their own family divides up.
The “Dialogues on…” series is made possible by a generous donation to NYPSI from The Poses Family Foundation. Additional funding was received from The James and Judith K. Dimon Foundation in honor of Ms. Themis Dimon.
