SUMMARY:Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy Level 1 - Sydney
DESCRIPTION:Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy Level 1\nDyadic Developmental Psychotherapy/ Practice (DDP) is an intervention model developed by Dan Hughes\, Clinical Psychologist (U.S.A.). DDP is family-based and is focused on facilitating the child’s readiness and ability to establish a secure attachment with his/her caregivers. It is called Dyadic Developmental Practice both to focus attention on the importance of reciprocity in parenting\, caregiving and therapy\, and also to draw attention to the fact that abuse\, neglect and trauma can seriously impact on the child’s developmental age and stage. \nThis intervention is theoretically based on the models of attachment theory and intersubjectivity\, and is consistent with the needs of children and young people who have experienced developmental trauma. It is an approach that: \n\nIntegrates the areas of neurobiology of trauma\, early child development and attachment theory\, to produce a therapeutic and parenting approach that assists professionals to understand and effectively support children with trauma- attachment problems\, and their families.\nCommunicates playfulness\, acceptance\, curiosity and empathy (PACE) in order to help the child regulate their feelings (often fear\, shame and anger) associated with past experiences and to create together new meanings to be integrated into the child’s life story (autobiographical narrative).\nRecognises the vital role which adoptive parents\, foster carers and residential workers play in the recovery of traumatised\, attachment-resistant children.\nProvides a set of principles that can support networks; inform and enrich parenting; and can support the child outside of the home eg in residential settings and at school\n\nParticipants are referred to the Healing Relational Trauma with Attachment Focused Interventions which underpins this training. \nDDP Level One Training \nThis is an introductory 28-hour training course relevant to professionals and therapists who have experience in communicating with and working therapeutically with children and young people and their families. It is focused on families and residential care homes when children have experienced past developmental trauma and have associated attachment difficulties. \nBy the end of this course participants will understand: \n\nThe impact of secure developmental attachment on neurological\, affective\, cognitive\, and behavioural development\nHow developmental trauma (abuse and neglect) create insecure and disorganised attachment patterns which impede normal development\nPrinciples of psychotherapy\, effective communication and parenting that facilitate the development of attachment security\nSpecific strategies of parenting and communication that facilitate the development of a secure attachment and help children integrate past trauma and abusive experiences\nHow the caregiver’s attachment history and attachment patterns can be important factors when providing care for children who have experienced developmental trauma.\n\nIn this four-day training\, principles and interventions are presented through formal discussion\, case examples\, videotape of therapy sessions\, role-play\, and hand-outs. \nA MAXIMUM of 27 participants is permitted. \nA full description of the content for each of the four days can be found here. \nMEET the TRAINERS    DDP BOOKS & RESOURCES \n

SUMMARY:Theraplay Level 1 & MIM - Cairns
DESCRIPTION:Theraplay Level 1 & MIM\nTheraplay® is an evidenced-based\, attachment-focused intervention utilising non-symbolic\, interactional play to re-create experiences of secure attachment formation between parent and child. Therapist-guided short-term\, dyadic therapy focuses on improving the child’s behavioural and emotional challenges through the parent-child relationship. In a session\, the therapist guides the parent and child through playful games\, challenging activities\, and nurturing interactions. Theraplay® helps the child experience previously difficult interactions in new ways\, helps overcome fear/ shame\, increase trust\, and create a positive change in the child’s sense of self. Theraplay® helps the parent be attuned to the child\, understand the motives of the child’s behaviour and the underlying needs\, manage environmental stimuli\, and carefully challenge their child in a safe place. While other therapies may work primarily with the child alone or work with parents on managing the child’s behaviours\, Theraplay® has shown that the parent-child relationship is the most powerful and influential element for change. It is also a complementary approach to Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (developed by Dan Hughes). \nTheraplay® has been used successfully to help: \n\nChildren with developmental trauma\nShy\, withdrawn children\nOveractive\, controlling or aggressive children\nFoster/adoptive children with attachment difficulties\nChildren with Autism Spectrum Disorder & Pervasive Development Disorder\nChildren with physical disabilities\, developmental delays or those who are non-verbal\nChildren who live in group settings\nEarly childhood students and others who receive services in group settings\n\nYou will learn: \n\nHistory\, core concepts & evidence base of Theraplay®\nThe four dimensions of Theraplay®: Structure\, Engagement\, Nurture & Challenge. Undertake activities for each of the dimensions\nAdminister the Marshack Interaction Method (MIM) & analyse it at a beginning level\nConduct feedback sessions with parents based upon the MIM analysis\nUse the MIM as a guideline for Theraplay® treatment planning\nObserve demonstrations of Theraplay® treatment and techniques\nPractice Theraplay® activities in dyads\nIdentify the types of behaviours that require a particular dimension\nUtilise the four Theraplay® dimensions to treat the specific needs of a child\nHow Theraplay® is applied to meet the needs of children with behaviour problems\, foster and adopted children\, children with ASD\, & older children\nHow to guide parents to participate in a Theraplay® treatment session\n\nThis four-day workshop is for practitioners wanting to use Theraplay® Informed Practice in their work and is suitable for practitioners working with children and families ranging from Psychologists\, Psychiatrists\, Social Workers\, Clinical Counsellors\, Family Therapists\, Counsellors\, Play Therapists\, Special Education & Early Childhood Specialists\, Teachers\, Occupational Therapists\, Speech and Language Therapists\, Residential Care Workers and Foster Support Workers. \nParticipants are referred to the Theraplay® book which underpins the approach (and advised to read chapters 1\, 2 & 4 prior to attending). \n
