Description

This collection of transcripts from sessions by certified Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapists gives therapists, educators, and child welfare and residential treatment professionals a detailed understanding of how Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy is used to help children who have a history of neglect, abuse, orphanage care, or other experiences that may interfere with the normal development of attachment between parent and child. The book begins with a description of DDP, its essential components, and the ways in which those components are used differentially in different phases of treatment. The transcripts that follow illustrate those components and their uses. They cover a diverse range of clients and families so that the reader can appreciate the depth and breadth of DDP. Both the editor and the therapists themselves provide analysis and commentary on the therapists' goals, impressions, and techniques. This book complements the treatment manual Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy: Essential Methods and Practices, and will be useful in graduate courses on treatment, child welfare, family therapy, and child psychology.

Media Reviews

For anyone who has ever wondered how to translate theory and concepts into practice, this book is the answer. Beginning with an overview of DDP, Becker Weidman brings us straight into the therapeutic session. Spanning the globe, seven very unique practioners share actual transcripts of therapy sessions that illustrate each principle of the treatment. A must read for both beginning and seasoned folk interested in healing hurt children and their families. -- Janice Goldwater, LCSW-C, Executive Director, Adoptions Together
This casebook illuminates Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy…in a way that makes it invaluable for therapists, graduate students, and clinical treatment supervisors. The contributing authors illustrate the creative integration of their personal styles with the theory and method, which is refreshing in contrast to some manualized approaches. The concept of phases of treatment introduced by Dr. Becker-Weidman provides context and mapping of the methodology in a way that contributes to reflective practice and case discussion. This is a must-have casebook for the clinician's bookshelf. -- Michael Blugerman, MSW, Executive Director, Children's Resource and Consultation Centre of Ontario
