Anger Issues
Josh has anger issues
around Joe's death
Who can blame him?
He keeps killing his doll
telling his doll
that she's bad
and he wants her dead
This happens every time
Joe's name
comes up
This can't be a good thing
thoughts?

Talk to your therapist about his behavior and see if she can give you some suggestions. Also look into finding some books about children and grief (ask the school therapist, Greg, if he's approachable for resources). Josh seems to be expressing his feelings, which is important vs. bottling them up. It's good that you are picking up on his new behavior.
I agree ask your therapist for suggestions. The family I used to nanny for had a horrible divorce (which I realize isn't the same) and their 3 year old began seeing a child therapist and i have seen a great change with her....
First, why does a boy have a doll? serious
It might not be a good thing, but I'm not sure it's a bad thing. He's angry and is expressing it. He's doing so in a way that causes no harm to property or people.
Yes, talk to your therapist, but I wouldn't worry about it too much. (Let me know if I'm wrong, because S does something similar.)
I wouldn't worry too much either. He's working through it in his way. I hope the therapist has some good ideas.
My children did terrible things to dolls in play when they were pre-schoolers - and that was before any trauma had entered their lives. They didn't actually damage the dolls and stuffed animals, but they assigned them roles in their fantasy games which involved death and pain. Their only informing source for this sort of game was children's stories (many of which do contain death) and a limited number of TV shows. Oh and the TV news - lotta death happenin' there.
I'd all for mentioning it to your therapist though.
