HEALING RELATIONAL TRAUMA WORKBOOK

Kim S. Golding Daniel A. Hughes

Dyadic Developmental Therapy in Practice

A resource for practitioners implementing attachment-focused treatment for young people.

Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) is an attachment-focused treatment for children and adolescents who have experienced abuse and neglect and are now living in stable foster and adoptive families. Here, Daniel Hughes and Kim S. Golding provide a practical accompaniment to their highly successful DDP text coauthored with Julie Hudson, Healing Relational Trauma with Attachment-Focused Interventions (2019). In this workbook, practitioners are invited to reflect on their experience of implementing the DDP model through discussion, examples, and reflection prompts. Readers are encouraged to consider the diversity of both practitioners and those receiving DDP interventions, and how each unique individual's identity can be embraced within the application of DDP interventions. DDP can be practiced as a therapy, a parenting approach, and as a practice approach for those working within healthcare, social care, or education, and this workbook is an invaluable resource for readers who fall into any one of these roles. Daniel Hughes, PhD, is a clinical psychologist and author who developed Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy. He lives in Annville, Pennsylvania. Kim S. Golding, PhD, is a clinical psychologist, author, and DDP consultant and trainer. She lives in Worcestershire, England.

Comments

Kim Golding and Dan Hughes risked personal vulnerability by looking inward to sensitive truths while reaching out to find voices unlike theirs. As I read, the same journey was asked of me. I think this is really what DDP is. This is an important step in making intersectionality, community, and uniqueness a way of learning DDP.

This workbook offers a valuable experience. Along with the helpful review of DDP, instructive dialogue examples, and grounded cultural integration and discussion, practitioners will feel safe as they are invited to reflect on and learn from their experience as a person and practitioner. The reflections and worksheets create a synchronous experience for the practitioner as DDP intends for children and carers; mentalizing abilities and confidence in working with families will grow as a result.

Hughes and Golding's Healing Relational Trauma Workbook is a brilliant and essential guide that caters to both seasoned clinicians and novices, presenting a pragmatic and meticulous manual on how to bring the latest in neuroscience and attachment into the therapy room with children and families. Packed with scripts, case examples, and reflective exercises, this masterful resource revolutionizes DDP by embracing diverse cultural perspectives and intersectionality. Unprecedented in its integrative approach, this book is the ultimate compendium to fostering profound and healing connections for traumatized children.
