Healing Relational Trauma Workbook: Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy in Practice

Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) is an attachment-based approach designed for children and adolescents who have faced abuse and neglect, now living in stable foster or adoptive homes. In this practical workbook, Daniel Hughes and Kim S. Golding offer a companion resource to their acclaimed book Healing Relational Trauma with Attachment-Focused Interventions.

This workbook invites practitioners to reflect on their experiences using the DDP model, providing discussion points, examples, and reflection prompts. Readers are encouraged to explore the diversity of both practitioners and those receiving DDP interventions, emphasizing how each individual’s unique identity can be incorporated into the application of DDP. Whether practiced as a therapeutic method, a parenting approach, or within healthcare, social care, or education settings, this workbook is an essential tool for professionals across these fields, helping them deepen their understanding and implementation of DDP.
