The feasibility of a randomised controlled trial of Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy

Fiona Turner-Halliday, Helen Minnis, Kathleen A Boyd, Nicholas Watson, Nicole RS Boyer

Maltreated children have significant and complex problems which clinicians find difficult to diagnose and treat.

Previous US pilot work suggests that Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) may be effective; however, rigorous evidence from a randomised controlled trial (RCT) is lacking.

The purpose of this study is to establish the feasibility of an RCT of DDP by exploring the ways that DDP is operating across different UK sites and the impacts of current practice on the potential set-up of an RCT.
