A complete group-work programme containing everything you need to run training and support sessions for adoptive parents and foster or kinship carers
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.
I am thrilled to be able to highly recommend Kim Golding's latest
book Nurturing Attachments Training Resource to those providing
professional services to adoptive parents and carers of traumatized
children with attachment difficulties. This highly readable work
presents in detail Kim's group training program for adoptive
parents and carers that she has used for a number of years. Kim
presents clearly the three modules (each involving six sessions)
that make up the training and includes handouts and other materials
that can be copied and utilized. She presents the key components of
the group process itself as well as supportive research to
demonstrate the effectiveness of the program.
Kim's comprehensive and creative work will also be of great benefit
to professionals in the development of their own knowledge of
raising children and youth impacted by trauma and attachment
problems. Professionals may also use these materials to guide their
interventions with individual families. Finally, adoptive parents
and carers may also find this work of help when facing the unique
struggles they encounter in their efforts to provide good care to
their vulnerable children.
In short, I am certain that Kim's work will contribute greatly to
our efforts both to understand the care that these children need as
well as to guide their parents and carers in their efforts to
provide such care. We will all experience much gratitude to Kim for
Nurturing Attachments Training Resource in the years ahead.

Foster carers and adoptive parents can make bringing up children
and young people with complex needs and helping them feel part of
their new families appear effortless, but my experience of working
with some of the best shows that it's far from easy. I welcome any
resource that supports carers to do this well. This material, from
an author with a great deal of knowledge about the tasks involved,
and with its focus on what they can do and everyday strategies
which will make a difference, is very welcome.

In Nurturing Attachments Kim Golding explores parenting children
who have attachment and trauma-related difficulties in a
theoretically sound manner. Golding's work will be a valuable
resource for anyone facilitating parent education/support groups.
This programme will not only help its users develop a comprehensive
understanding of the complexities that exist in the relationships
they have with their children, but also show how they can use this
understanding to transform these relationships. Golding has done a
masterful job at integrating theory with a practicality that will
enable parents to feel more effective in their parenting roles.

Bonding Center of Ohio, USA, Co-author of Adopting the Hurt Child
(2009), Parenting the Hurt Child (2002), and author of Parenting
Adopted Adolescents (2009)*
This is an excellent training manual and provides a structured
programme with theory-based strategies for therapeutic parenting...
The course gives a good overview of attachment theory and the core
difficulties for traumatized children... The material is well
illustrated with relevant case studies and advice on common
problems which can occur in running groups for parents.
Golding's work will be an invaluable resource for anyone
facilitating parent education/support groups.
