Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy Study Group 2022-2023
Due to the popularity of our 2021-2022 DDP study group, the Institute is once again offering this practical monthly group to continue your Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy learning!
The Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy study group is a virtual working group. It will give participants an opportunity to come together to talk about and practice Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy skills. We hope to get curious together about what is working and those areas where you feel you may need more practice and knowledge. We will use discussion, role-play in large and small groups, as well as peer support to further embed DDP principles into your practice.
Our intention in having a small working group of 25 people is to ensure we have the opportunity to explore the moments, the themes, and issues that are relevant to group members – the good, the bad and the ugly!
The study group includes 10 two hour virtual sessions over the course of a year which will provide training, opportunities for practice, and consultation.
The group is facilitated by Dr. Sian Phillips, PhD, CPsych, and Kristin Gionfriddo, MSW, RSW.
