Understanding Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP)

DDP Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy is a specialized therapy and care model used in a therapeutic children's home. It is specifically designed to support care-experienced young people with attachment disorders

How DDP is Applied

Relationship Focused: It focuses on the dyad (the relationship) between the young person and their residential support worker.
Clinical Oversight: Often led by a clinical psychologist or a therapeutic practitioner.
Core Goal: To help children with complex trauma feel safe enough to form secure attachments.

Therapeutic Environment

DDP training is often part of an in-house training programme for homes with a therapeutic community approach.
