A group work programme for trainers containing everything you need to help adoptive, foster and kinship carers to learn how to nurture attachments with their child
Kim S. Golding CBE, BSc, MSc, D. Clin. Psy. AFBPsS is a clinical psychologist who works in Worcestershire, England where she was influential in the founding of the Integrated Service for Looked After Children - a multi-agency, holistic service providing support for foster, adoptive and residential parents, schools and the range of professionals supporting children growing up in care or in adoptive families. Kim was trained and mentored by Dan Hughes in the use of Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP). She was formerly on the board of the Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy Institute supporting the use of DDP in Europe, USA and Canada. She accredits and trains professionals in the approach and has been invited to speak about this work internationally.
The group programme developed by Kim Golding offers parents and
carers a bridge between learning the principles of attachment and
how such attachment is experienced. A wonderful resource.
*Dr Joe Tucci, CEO, Australian Childhood Foundation*
In six sessions, knowledge about trauma, attachment and
neurobiology is made easy to understand through practice-based
exercises and handouts. This resource is highly recommended.
*Julie Hudson, Chartered Clinical Psychologist, Associate Fellow of
the British Psychological Society*
Foundations for Attachment adeptly explores both the inner lives of
these children, and provides resources for the challenges of
parenting. Certain to be welcomed by practitioners, its accessible
style will enlighten attachment-focused parents too.
*Ben Monaghan, Managing Director, Compass Seminars Australia*
Kim Golding has eloquently distilled the essential elements of
attuned parenting for children with histories of maltreatment for
both facilitator and participant alike, strengthened by a body of
evidence from well-thought-out pilot work.
*Dr Ben Gurney-Smith, Chartered Consultant Clinical Psychologist,
