About the Book Dibs in Search of Self
Described as emotionally disturbed and withdrawn, Dibs' behaviors baffle his parents and teachers. He often isolates himself, expressing his distress through silence and aggression. The book begins with a sense of desperation, as those around Dibs struggle to understand him.
Enter Virginia M. Axline, a pioneering child psychologist who employs play therapy to connect with Dibs. Axline's approach is founded on the belief that children can express their emotions and thoughts through play, a medium more natural for them than verbal communication. Through a series of therapeutic sessions, Axline begins to unravel the complexities of Dibs' mind. Dibs slowly opens up, revealing his intelligence, creativity, and deep-seated fears.
As the therapy progresses, readers witness a remarkable transformation. Dibs evolves from a withdrawn, angry child into a confident, articulate young boy. The sessions reveal his extraordinary intellectual abilities, previously masked by his behavioral issues. By the end of the book, Dibs's growth is evident not only in his demeanor but also in his relationships with others.

It takes a long time to gather all the data for our new book page format with more useful descriptions, themes, and activity ideas. Meanwhile, this page is active so you can order books; it just isn't quite as informative or graphically appealing as the new page will be. Thanks for understanding! :-)
