Deborah S. Levinson is a Johns Hopkins trained psychotherapist and licensed clinical social worker in practice in Manhattan and in Maryland. Mrs. Levinson published a model for the process of adjustment after major loss: death divorce, or end of a long term relationship. In contrast to traditional mourning theories, Mrs. Levinson addresses the issue of loss of an attachment object as a postissue of loss of an attachment object as a post-traumatic stress disorder. She has written three books which outline the tools and skills an individual needs to move forward after major loss of an attachment object. In addition Mrs. Levinson pub-lished a paper with Dr. Holly Prigerson who authored the traumatic grief diagnosis currently listed in the DSM V.
Learn how to help clients craft a new chapter of their lives after experiencing a major loss—death, divorce, or the end of a long-term relationship. The model is simple and presented in three stages. It is based on life- change transition in which grief and mourning take place at different times during the transition process. At times during the transition process. At each stage, it offers a series of skills to be acquired and tasks to be accomplished before one moves on to the next stage. The model provides a framework to decrease the anxiety typically felt from loss and separation during the journey.
