ADHD - Is Your Child Deficient in Magnesium?

[Amy Smart]

Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy interventions flow from Brain C-13 Review several theoretical and empirical lines. Attachment theory (Bowlby, 1980, Bowlby, 1988) provides the theoretical foundation for Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy. Early trauma disrupts the normally developing attachment system by creating distorted internal working models of self, others, and caregivers. Use of a variety of interventions, including cognitive-behavioral strategies.

This is one rationale for treatment in addition to the necessity for sensitive care-giving. As O'Connor & Zeanah (2003, p. 235) have stated, "A more puzzling case is that of an adoptive/foster caregiver who is 'adequately' sensitive but the child exhibits attachment disorder behavior; it would seem unlikely that improving parental sensitive responsiveness (in already sensitive parent) would yield positive changes in the parent-child relationship."

Treatment is necessary to directly address the rigid and dysfunctional internalized working models that traumatized children with attachment disorders have developed. Current thinking and research on the neurobiology of interpersonal behavior (Siegel, 1999, Siegel, 2000, Siegel, 2002, Schore, 2001) is another part of the foundation on which Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy rests.

The primary approach is to create a secure base in treatment (using techniques that fit with maintaining a healing PACE (Playful, Accepting, Curious, and Empathic) and at home using principals that provide safe structure and a healing PLACE (Playful, Loving, Acceptance, Curious, and Empathic). Developing and sustaining an attuned relationship within which contingent collaborative communication occurs helps the child heal. Directly address the inevitable misattunements and conflicts that arise in interpersonal relationships.
