Children who have experienced trauma, loss or separation early in
life need more than just special care and attention; they need to
be parented with love and security in a way that allows them to
heal and rebuild emotional bonds. This comprehensive book provides
parents and carers with crucial advice and guidance on how to
strengthen attachment and trust. Based on Dan Hughes' proven 'PACE'
model of therapeutic parenting, this book explains how to implement
PACE techniques to overcome the challenges faced by children who
struggle to connect emotionally. Barriers to stable relationships
such as a lack of trust, fear of emotional intimacy, and high
levels of shame are all explained. It explores techniques to
overcome these barriers by teaching how to support the child's
behaviour at the same time as building empathy and trust. The
practical parenting guidance offered throughout is essential for
carers or parents of troubled children, and will help build safe,
secure emotional relationships.
Using Stories to Build Bridges with Traumatized Children is full of
creative ideas for how you can use stories therapeutically with
children in counselling, life story work or direct work.
Psychologist Kim S. Golding shows how you can use stories to build
connections with children aged 4-16 and support their recovery from
trauma and stress. She illustrates the techniques with 21 stories
adapted from her own clinical work with children and families, and
explains how you can expand or adapt them to make them more
relevant for a particular child. Advice and stories are arranged
into sections dealing with common psychological issues, including
looking back and moving on, lack of trust and need for attention.
Golding also gives invaluable tips for planning stories and life
story work, and for storymaking with children. She also describes
how stories can be used therapeutically with parents of traumatized
children and as a tool for self-reflection by counsellors.
Imaginative and practical, this book will be enormously useful for
counsellors, psychologists, therapists and social workers working
with traumatized children, and will also be helpful for parents and
carers involved in therapeutic parenting.
When children from insecure backgrounds become adolescents, the
challenges they experience themselves and present for those around
them can get a lot harder to sort out, before the teenager can
fully integrate into society. These adolescents can quickly acquire
'bad kid' or 'anti-social' labels. They may form attachments by
joining gangs, but in doing so, further alienate themselves from
other more constructive options on offer.The contributors to this
much needed book have all worked successfully on the front line
with teenagers whose ability to make healthy relationships, or to
find learning exciting or even possible, has been severely
compromised by their past experiences of trauma, neglect and abuse.
Each expert practitioner offers practical strategies, underpinned
by attachment theory and their own extensive experience, to enable
teachers, psychologists, therapists and social workers to reach out
to young people in new ways, establishing genuine connection and
real possibilities for learning and hope.
Written by experienced clinicians, this book provides an
exploration of how educators can easily use Dyadic Developmental
Practice (DDP) to help vulnerable pupils to thrive. 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. This book gives educators all
the tools they need to embed DDP into their practice, including
building connections with students, partnerships with parents,
understanding the theory behind DDP, and overcoming the challenges
of implementing it in practice. These principles can be adapted to
support pupils at all levels.

This book presents an innovative relational and community based
therapeutic model to ensure children's essential attachment needs
are catered for in intensive mental health care. The text combines
an overview of theory relating to attachment and trauma before
laying out a model for working with children and adolescents in an
attachment-informed way. The approach applies to a diverse range of
settings - from in-patient psychiatric settings, through to
schools-based programs, and provides the reader with the knowledge
and guidance they need to introduce the approach in their own
service. It also addresses the complexities of working with
specific clinical populations, including children with ADHD, ASD,
RAD and psychosis. Accessible for entry level clinical caretakers,
yet sophisticated enough for clinical supervisors, this book is
essential reading for professionals looking to improve the
effectiveness of child and adolescent treatment programs.
Assessing prospective adoptive parents, foster carers, kinship
carers and special guardians is an extremely complex task, and one
that happens within a pressurized time frame. Currently,
assessments draw substantially on interviews, which can generate a
lot of information but little analysis to enable professionals to
establish a meaningful understanding of parenting capacity.
Children with histories of trauma, loss and hurt need to join
families in which parents exhibit the ability to be good at
relationships, are able to manage their own stress and bond with
the child in their care. Now fully updated and expanded to cover
the assessment of kinship carers and special guardians, this book
combines the latest findings from neuroscience with research on
what makes good assessments and provides guidance and tools for
making thorough, analytical and effective assessments. With
contributions from leading experts including Dan Hughes, Jonathan
Baylin, Kim Golding and Julie Selwyn, it will provide you with the
information you need to ensure the best possible chance of
placement success.
I could not ignore the tiny spark of hope that whispered to me that
there might be someone with whom I could be vulnerable and real,
and that this time they might just not let me down... This is the
story of Alexia and her therapist Kim, and their three-year therapy
journey to begin Alexia's path to recovery. Written from both
perspectives, it is a powerful and revealing account of a
therapist-client relationship. Together, the authors show the
manifold challenges that adult survivors of childhood abuse have to
overcome, and offer insight to all therapists on how relational
interventions can pave a way to healing.
Foundations for Attachment Training Resource is a six-session
programme to help parents and carers to nurture attachments with

Informed by attachment theory and Dyadic Developmental
Psychotherapy (DDP), it consists of three core modules: *
Understanding Challenges of Parenting * Therapeutic Parenting *
Looking After Self It includes relevant theory and process notes
for trainers, and a range of activities supported by electronic
resources with downloadable activity sheets and handouts. This is a
complete resource containing everything you need to run the
sessions, and is perfect for any professionals involved in training
foster carers, adoptive parents and kinship carers.

This multidisciplinary book shows how to foster meaningful
relationships between therapists and vulnerable children, through
exploring the concept of communicative musicality and creating
rhythms of connection. It includes broad and in-depth contributions
from leading therapists from diverse backgrounds - including Peter
A. Levine, Daniel Hughes, Stephen Porges, Dennis McCarthy and many
more. Contributors reflect on their own experiences, providing
insights from the fields of music therapy, trauma, dance and
movement therapy, psychobiology, dramatherapy, counselling, play
therapy, and education. Contemporary theory is woven in with case
stories to highlight the emotional realities of working with highly
vulnerable children, and to present proven examples of how
therapists can improve the quality of connectedness. Full of
original and innovative ideas for working with attachment issues,
trauma, communication difficulties, autism, learning disabilities,
aggression and anxiety, this is inspiring reading for professionals
who work with vulnerable children in creative therapies. Royalty
proceeds from the book will be donated to the National Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC), UK.
