| Description: | Select Guide Rating Guidance for professionals supporting children with pathological demand avoidance and their families. This book details the most effective methods of treatment such as trauma-informed and indirect approaches and offers advice to help clinicians overcome the most common obstacles they may face. Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) presents a unique challenge for professionals, whereby conventional therapy methods are often perceived as demands and met with opposition where they normally would have proven effective. This guide sets out the most effective strategies for clinicians to provide the best care for children with PDA, adapting conventional modes of therapy to suit their needs. Methods include indirect techniques such as play-based therapy or trauma-informed approaches enabling the child to process their experiences on their own terms. |
