Working with Relational Trauma in Schools

An Educator’s Guide to Using Dyadic Developmental Practice

Kim S. Golding, Sian Phillips and Louise Michelle Bombèr

Foreword by Dan Hughes

DDP is an intervention model for children and young people who have experienced trauma in past relationships. Safety and security is increased through offering emotional connection in a variety of ways, helped by the attitude of PACE (playfulness, acceptance, curiosity and empathy). The model gives children the opportunity to experience the relationships necessary for healthy development, emotional regulation and resilience.

Experienced clinicians show how educators can easily use a proven psychological model to help pupils who have experienced relational trauma. Contains everything required to embed it into teaching practice, including building connections with students and teachers, exploration of the theory, and practical applications.
