Replacement Child Professionals
We are creating a new global network for professionals working with replacement children and bereaved parents.
Do you seek insight into
invisible causes of some
intractable cases in your practice?
Kristina Schellinski Dipl. Psy/M.A. & drs. Ard Nieuwenbroek
Join us and become part of a team of global experts in this field. We are internationally recognized authors and experts in treating replacement children and their families.
Replacement children are born into a family grieving a loss, and unconsciously given the role to replace a deceased sibling or self-identifying with such a role, with potential life-long consequences for identity formation, self-esteem and relationships.
We offer you skills and solutions to diagnose and heal replacement children and counsel bereaved families. You will gain insight into the challenging work with replacement children and benefit professionally and personally from working with clients who seek self-validation and individuation.
We support and join efforts with the replacementchildforum.com,
a free website created in 2019, which offers resources, information and personal experiences.
We provide individual professionals and institutions on a fee-for-service basis with
- training in the diagnosis & treatment of replacement children
- supervision of ongoing treatments
- Masterclasses
- assistance for the creation of self-help groups & briefings for group leaders
Introduction Webinar
for Replacement Children,
parents & clinicians
‘To be or not to be’
Kristina Schellinski, Claudine van der Sommen & Ard Nieuwenbroek
15 May 2024,
19.00 hr – 21.00 hr CET
Many replacement children are struggling with these existential questions: ‘Am I there?’ And also: ‘Am I allowed to be there?’ Even deeper: ‘Am I entitled to exist?’ This touches the question of their self-esteem, their self-validation and the process of their individuation. Replacement children are overshadowed by the absence of a deceased sibling and the immeasurable grief experienced by their parents over such a loss.
In this international Webinar, we explore answers to ‘To Be or not to Be?’ for replacement children, their parents, and those who provide treatment. Kristina Schellinski, Ard Nieuwenbroek and Claudine van der Sommen are the inspiring speakers.
The operating language is English and there are Dutch subtitles.
