DDP is a therapeutic intervention model developed by Dr. Dan Hughes, Clinical Psychologist. Dan created DDP as a treatment for families with adopted or fostered children who had experienced early life trauma. It is family-based and focused on facilitating the child’s readiness and ability to establish a secure attachment with their caregiver.
DDP Level One is an introductory training course in Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP). It is a course of 4 full days: 10th March, 11th March, 17th March & 18th March.Â
It will equip you to understand the DDP principles and to introduce them within your practice, everyday work and/or with your child.
By the end of this course you will understand:
· The impact of secure developmental attachment on neurological, affective, cognitive, and behavioural development
· How developmental trauma (abuse and neglect) create insecure and disorganised attachment patterns which impede normal development
· Principles of psychotherapy, effective communication and parenting that facilitate the development of attachment security
· Specific strategies of parenting and communication that facilitate the development of a secure attachment and help children integrate past trauma and abusive experiences.
· How the caregiver’s attachment history and attachment patterns can be important factors when providing care for children who have experienced developmental trauma.
