Abstract
A report of an evaluation of the Nurturing Attachments Group provided across four geographical areas. Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy and Practice (DDP) is a model developed by Dan Hughes for supporting children who have experienced developmental traumas. The Nurturing Attachments group work programme is a DDP-informed intervention which has been provided by Adoptionplus to groups of adoptive families.
Twenty-nine adoptive families consented to participate in the quantitative study which involved completing a range of questionnaires pre- and post- their attendance at the group and to provide session-by-session ratings reporting how close they felt to achieving their self-selected goals.
Additionally, 8 of these parents were randomly selected to participate in a qualitative analysis of their experience.
