Introduction of the concept of blocked care to better understand the challenges of raising a traumatized child with attachment difficulties
Introduction of the classification of developmental trauma that is now commonly used to describe the challenges faced by children such as Katie
Expanded coverage of intersubjectivity with demonstrations throughout the book as to its impact on the development of the child
Stronger development of the therapeutic and parenting stance of PACE (playful, accepting, curious, empathic) since this has become a strong organizing principle for training both therapists and parents using the dyadic developmental psychotherapy (DDP) model
Updated examples of the components of DDP (affective-reflective dialogue, follow-lead-follow, interactive repair, deepening the narrative) and a discussion of the ties between DDP and new research in interpersonal neurobiology
