Overview:   “Chronic Sorrow” was introduced by Simon Olshansky in his seminal 1962 article describing his experience working with parents with children with developmental disabilities.  The concept was expanded upon in Susan Roos’ 2002 book of the same name in her journey coping with a child with a disability. 

This 2-hour workshop will discuss:

• the principles of how Olshansky and Roos define “Chronic Sorrow”
• how to assess for Chronic Sorrow,
• the challenges to professionals working with these families and its impact on marriage and family
• review different models of coping with “Chronic Sorrow.”    
• how attachment theory impacts these families
• a comparison and contrasting of Chronic Sorrow with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
