Books by David A. Crenshaw

Presents comprehensive and detailed compilation of specific and practical techniques available for child and play therapists to draw on in the treatment of aggressive children. This book is suitable for child practitioners because of the broad range of the interventions and the clear rationale that guides their use.

Addresses the challenges faced when children who refuse to talk, children who lack psychological mindedness, teens who experience an aversion to the influence of any adult, and children and teens who mask their woundedness by hostility or diffidence show up for therapy. This book describes tools that can be utilized within a range of approaches.

Crenshaw offers new child therapy techniques that are informed by an integration of psychoanalytic and attachment theories and can be integrated into a variety of therapy methods.

Provides a review of the theoretical and research basis of the techniques and interventions in the treatment of aggressive and sometimes violent children. This book is a result of work done directly in the therapy room with thousands of hurting and in many cases traumatized children.
