Dibs in Search of Self: Personality Development in Play Therapy (Penguin Modern Classics) - Softcover
Synopsis
The classic account of a lost boy's emotional breakthrough, from a renowed child psychotherapist
'I welcome this book with all my heart' D. W. Winnicott
When renowned psychotherapist Virginia Axline first encountered Dibs at his New York School, he was a little boy lost to the world. He would not talk. He would not play. He sat alone, defying every attempt at interaction. Axline was the last resort. This is her seminal account of how, through weekly play therapy sessions over the course of one year, Dibs's extraordinary character, and the reason for his silent withdrawal, were gradually revealed. Dibs in Search of Self is a classic of child therapy, and a moving story of transformation.
'A very empowering and kind book' Tanya Byron
'It should be the law that you have to read this book' Adjoa Andoh, BBC Radio 4

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A heartbreaking nonfiction classic from a renowed child psychologistIn 1964, renowned psychotherapist Virginia M. Axline visited a New York school. There she encountered a little boy apart from teachers and children. Dibs sat alone, or gently traced the edge of the room, defying approach and every attempt at interaction. Every day was like this, and every day his teachers feared further that their support was not enough. As a last resort, Axline was asked to meet with Dibs for a series of weekly play therapy sessions. There, through the guise of time spent will toys and paint, Dibs' extraordinary character -- and the circumstance of his pain -- is slowly revealed.Based on the transcripts of their sessions together, Dibs in Search of Self is a seminal testament to the power of psychotherapy, and a classic of twentieth century nonfiction -- an incredible true story of personal transformation.
