Exposed, scaffolded and connected – Foster carers' experiences of dyadic developmental psychotherapy: An interpretative phenomenological analysis
Though the need to explore DDP's effectiveness remains, this study suggests foster carers experience DDP as a demanding yet worthwhile intervention. Implications for practice, especially an increased need for relational safety and carer support are explored, as well as avenues for future research.
