DMM Model

As a strengths-based developmental model of attachment, the DMM offers an age-related array of self-protective strategies. It emphasises the dynamic interaction of the maturation of the human organism  across the lifespan, with the contexts in which maturation possibilities are used to protect the self, reproduce and protect one’s progeny. 

Courses

The Family Relations Institute trains and authorises trainers for the developmentally sequenced assessments of attachment tied to the Dynamic Maturational Model (DMM) of Attachment and Adaption. 

Trainers

The Family Relations Institute trains and authorises trainers from all over the world for the DMM assessments as well as certifying coders’ competence for research and treatment.
