 :::I have deleted the references to EFT, TF-CBT and DDP, for the sake of those interested parties, the deleted material below: 

 Emotionally focused therapy, Trauma focused cognitive behaviour therapy (TF-CBT) and Dyadic developmental psychotherapy are three of a number of approaches for treating paediatric PTSD. 

 Dyadic developmental psychotherapy does not appear in the latest guide to treating complex traumatic stress disorders by Courtois and Ford (2009) Courtois, CA.and Ford, J.D eds 'Treating Comples Traumatic Stress Disorders - an evidence based guide. 2009 the Guilford Press, which covers evidence based or promising evidence informed treatments. It is a method, not without controversy, originally developed by Hughes as an intervention for children whose emotional distress resulted from earlier separation from familiar caregivers and complex trauma. Hughes proposes that an attachment based treatment may be more effective for such foster and adoptive children than other treatments and parenting interventions.Hughes, D. (2003).
