Dyadic Development Psychotherapy

A Four-Day Master Class


February 25-28, 2012
8:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m.

Spence-Chapin Services to Families and Children
New York City


This four-day training is geared for therapists in the treatment of children with trauma-attachment problems. Early deprivation, neglect, abuse, significant early health problems and hospitalizations, repeated moves, or more than one year in an orphanage can create attachment problems that require specialized treatment.

This workshop will provide therapists and other professionals with an opportunity to learn and practice effective treatment methods for trauma-attachment disordered children. Participants will learn effective therapy principals for helping traumatized children. There will be an opportunity to view videotapes of actual therapy sessions with traumatized children that demonstrate therapeutic principals. Participants are encouraged to present their own videotapes or cases.

This master class provides an intermediate level of training in Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy, an evidence-based, effective, and empirically validated treatment grounded in current thinking and research on the etiology and treatment of Complex Trauma or Developmental Trauma Disorder and disorders of attachment. Attendees will earn a Certificate of Attendance for 34 CEUs.

Led by Dr. Arthur Becker-Weidman, a certified Dyadic Developmental psychotherapist, consultant and trainer, it is the first step in completing the "required core training content" necessary to enter the practicum to become a Certified Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy therapist. For those who wish to complete the certification process, additional training is necessary to apply for the Practicum to become a certified DDP therapist, and is available through Dr. Arthur Becker-Weidman's Center for Family Development in Williamsville, N.Y. Hosted by Spence-Chapin Services to Families and Children.
