The Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy Casebook

This collection of session transcripts from certified Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapists gives therapists and professionals an understanding of how Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) is used to help children with a history of neglect, or other experiences that may interfere with normal development of attachment between parent and child. The book begins with a description of DDP, and the transcripts that follow illustrate DDP's components, phases, and uses. They cover a diverse range of clients so that the reader can appreciate the depth and breadth of DPP. Analyses of the therapists' goals, impressions, and techniques are included.
