Workshop Description:
Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) is a family-based treatment model developed by Dr. Daniel Hughes. DDP focuses on facilitating the child’s ability to establish secure attachment with his/her caregivers. Participants will actively learn the principles of DDP and the use of PACE (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, and Empathy) to co-regulate the affect associated with past experiences and then to co-construct new meanings of these experiences. Attendees will become DDP informed through didactic presentation, video, and instructor case examples.
