By Andrew Lister, Alison Keith, Kim S. Golding

NEW RELEASE

Guiding Families through Transitions

A guide for social care workers on how DDP can be used in social care settings with children and families who have experienced developmental trauma.

A Life Cycle Approach to Clinical Practice

Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) is a therapeutic approach that uses attachment theory to support children and families who have experienced relational trauma.

An indispensable clinical resource and text, this book offers therapists evidence-based strategies to support families through life's inevitable transitions.

By consciously offering PACE (playfulness, acceptance, curiosity, and empathy), adults can help children - and each other - to feel more secure and open to others.

Chapters explore typical life cycle stages--couple formation, parenthood, adolescence, young adulthood and midlife, and later life--and describe treatment principles for frequently encountered family challenges.

This guide explains how to apply the principles of DDP to every level of working with children and families in the social care system. It covers how DDP can be used to support everything from building relationships between children and carers to decision-making on an organisational scale.

The book normalizes developmental strains and underscores the significance of flexibility, adaptability, and resilience through adversity.

It also explores ways to adapt DDP-based strategies to take different cultural and social considerations into account, allowing social workers to ensure their practice is tailored to each family's individual needs.
