Frustrated by the challenges of helping
defiant, oppositional, aggressive children? Dr. David A. Crenshaw
shares successful techniques he has developed during more than 30 years
as a clinical child psychologist.
Chronically angry children may look like
strong, fearless gorillas on the outside. Inside, they are like
fearful, wary fawns at the edge of the woods. They crave contact
with others, but fear being hurt again.
They may have been hurt by loss, whether by
divorce or death, and are struggling with grief. They may have
been hurt by violence and abuse. Perhaps, they never had a secure
family life to develop trust early on.
The art of healing fawns in gorilla suits
requires not taking their anger personally, but realizing anger is how
they protect themselves. They hurt deep inside from invisible, yet
very real wounds. To help such children feel safe, become
trusting, and deal with intense emotions, Dr. Crenshaw developed special
play therapy techniques. He teaches his techniques to clinicians,
school personnel, and others who work with angry children.

techniques on this web site during today's visit and return for more
techniques as they are added.
