PROGRAMME INFORMATION
Understand the DDP framework
Understand the theoretical foundations for DDP
Explore and practice using the core components of DDP
Apply this framework to a therapeutic approach for children and parents; and Apply this framework to a parenting approach; complementing the therapeutic approach.
Suitable for:
Therapists working with developmentally traumatized children and their families or substitute families eg Clinical Psychologists, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services, Independent Practitioners.
Professionals supporting children and young people who have experienced developmental trauma and their families. e.g. Social workers in fostering, adoption, children in need services and residential care settings, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services, education services, pediatric services.
NB: This training is not designed to directly support parents and foster carers with the care of their own children and should not be seen as an alternative to local therapeutic intervention. However, in some circumstances, foster carers and adoptive parents can attend parts of the training alongside a support worker from their local service. Trainers will consider these requests on an individual basis.
This four-day Level One training introduces Dyadic Developmental Practice, Psychotherapy and Parenting (DDP). Participants are asked to read the Attachment-Focused Family Therapy Workbook by Daniel A. Hughes, Norton, 2011, which underpins this training.
In Level One the core components of DDP will be presented and explored through discussion and practice exercises. This includes practicing communication using PACE (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity and Empathy). Participants will explore the use of DDP as therapeutic
work with families and as a parenting framework. ︎
Level One represents 28 hours of DDP training. This will provide
the knowledge and
practice necessary for attendees to apply DDP principles to their
work with developmentally traumatized children and their families. ︎
Level One is a stand-alone training. It is also the first step toward certification as a Practitioner in DDP. Whilst Level One is a necessary starting point, it does not enable participants to state they are Practitioners in DDP, but they can say that they are applying the DDP principles to their work.
About DDP
DDP was originally developed by Dan Hughes as a therapeutic intervention for families who were fostering or had adopted children with significant developmental trauma and insecurity of attachment. It is called Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy to focus attention on the importance of the dyad of relationships, such as between child and parent, and on the impact trauma has on development.
Whilst DDP was originally developed as a therapy it has a much broader application as Dyadic Developmental Practice. This includes a parenting framework and a trauma- attachment framework for working with all families, whether fostered, adopted or biological, as well as for education practitioners and other practitioners supporting the families. These will be explored within the Level One training.
