DDP
What Is DDP Therapy?
DDP was created by clinical psychologist Dan Hughes as an attachment-informed method to support families where children have suffered developmental trauma.
Although originally intended for adoptive families and foster carers, DDP has a broad application and the central component, the therapeutic stance of PACE (playful, accepting, curious, empathetic), provides a set of principles that help key adults build emotional connections with children both at home and school.
