Dan Hughes PhD is a clinician and theoretician specializing in the treatment of children and adolescents with severe emotional and behavioral problems related to trauma and loss. Dan is trained in attachment theory and research, psychodynamic, gestalt, Rogerian, and Ericksonian traditions. He has developed a successful model for intervening with attachment disorders titled Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy, the result of over 25 years working with this population of clients. Dan's current passion is in training therapists, parents, and counselors in both the United States and England in this important work. He is a visiting lecturer at the Center for Child Mental Health, a graduate program for psychotherapists, in London, England. He has conducted seminars and spoken at Conferences throughout the US for the past six years and also provides ongoing supervision and consultation to dozens of clinicians and agencies throughout the United States and speaks regularly to groups of parents. Dan presents in a deeply engaging manner. His workshops provide an integrated cognitive and affective understanding of his model of psychotherapy, using numerous case descriptions, vignettes and videotape excerpts of treatment interventions. He is the author of two books, Facilitating Developmental Attachment, and Building the Bonds of Attachment. Dan is now writing a third book in which he is presenting and integrating the basic principles and interventions of DDP in working with a wide range of child and adult clients.
