Understanding and Treating the Aggression of Children: Fawns in
Gorilla Suits provides a thorough review of the theoretical and
research basis of the techniques and interventions in the treatment
of aggressive and sometimes violent children. This is not a dry and
sterile academic review but rather one that comes from work
directly in the therapy room with thousands of hurting and in many
cases traumatized children. One cannot read this book without being
deeply moved and touched by the pain of these children and yet also
be buoyed by their courage and willingness to persevere against
formidable barriers. The metaphor of the fawn in a gorilla suit is
introduced, followed by chapters covering developmental failures
and invisible wounds, profound and unacknowledged losses, the
implication of new findings from neuroscience, psychodynamics of
aggressive children, risk factors when treating the traumatized
child, special considerations when treating children in foster
care, strengthening relationships with parents and helping them be
more effective, enhancing relationships with direct care and
instructional staff, developing mature defenses, and coping skills,
creating a therapeutic milieu for traumatized children, and
fostering hope and resilience.
