This is a wonderful book that affirms the importance of DDP in the relationships of children in out of home care. It also explores the beautiful themes that shape the identity and capacities of children - love, trust, shame. It offers direct applications of DDP for practitioners in this context. Kim Golding and her colleagues reflect on the how relationships have the power to transform childhood pain and trauma into meaning that heals. -- Dr Joe Tucci, CEO of the Australian Childhood Foundation This book will be of great value not only in residential care but anywhere where DDP is practiced. Based on the authors' wealth of experience this book is full of conversations and stories that beautifully illustrate DDP principles to practice, whilst providing safety and new knowledge of self and other. -- Dan Hughes, Ph.D. Founder of DDP Grant, Thompson, and Golding present an innovative exploration in Working with Relational Trauma in Children's Residential Care, skilfully uncovering the transformative impact of Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) on the lives of children in residential care. This timely and accessible book seamlessly blends DDP with insights from contemporary neuroscience, providing a fresh perspective on applying these principles to therapeutic environments for children with profound trauma experiences. The authors showcase the remarkable effectiveness of the DDP approach, cultivating a therapeutic atmosphere that warmly and playfully invites children into a realm of safety. Through co-regulation and a 'symmetry' of presence with the child, their approach encourages children to process their trauma-related experiences, creating an environment where they can securely embark on a journey of emotional healing and growth. -- Stephen W. Porges, PhD. Founding Director, Traumatic Stress Research Consortium If you care about children, please take this book with you wherever you go and devour it.
