Dr Kestenberg is one of the original founders and organizers of Child Development Research (CDR) which sponsors three projects: ‘The Sidney L.

She is also the founder of the Group for the ‘Psychoanalytic Study of the Effect of the Holocaust on the Second Generation’.
The Center is devoted to the prevention of emotional disorders. One of the original contributions of the CDR research team is the creation of a movement profile from which a psychological assessment can be made. On the basis of movement observations and movement profiles, the Center's staff designs training programmes for individuals and groups. The Center serves as an internship site for dance and art therapists. It is also interested in music therapy students. There are several grandchildren of survivors in the Center.
