Working with Relational Trauma and Intersectional Identities A Guide to Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy at the Intersections

Experiencing developmental trauma or raising a child who has had this experience can be a marginalising experience. This marginalisation only increases when it is combined with other experiences such as racism, gender-inequality, queerphobia, classism, ableism and religiophobia.
Drawing on expert contributions from practitioners, this book explores how professionals can use Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) in a way that addresses the complexity of intersectional experience.
This guide uses a three-part structure - the first focusses on the theory, background and context for exploring how DDP interventions work with intersectional experiences. Part two explores DDP practice working with intersectional experiences within different professional contexts. Finally, in part three, experienced DDP practitioners share their lived experiences of privilege, marginalisation, resilience, vulnerability, hidden identities and hidden layers.
