A must read for both beginning and seasoned folk interested in healing hurt children and their families. -- Janice Goldwater, LCSW-C, Executive Director, Adoptions Together This casebook illuminates Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy...in a way that makes it invaluable for therapists, graduate students, and clinical treatment supervisors. The contributing authors illustrate the creative integration of their personal styles with the theory and method, which is refreshing in contrast to some manualized approaches. The concept of phases of treatment introduced by Dr. Becker-Weidman provides context and mapping of the methodology in a way that contributes to reflective practice and case discussion.
