Abstract
Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) is a family therapy
treatment based on Attachment Theory. It is an integration of several
approaches, methods and techniques that have a strong evidence
base. The approach was originally developed to treat children with
disorders of attachment and has been shown to be effective. It has
since been more broadly used to help families with a variety of
difficulties, including complex trauma. This paper outlines the
primary principles and components of DDP and the evidence to
support the effectiveness of the components and, therefore, of DDP.
