Virginia Mae Axline Livres

A child therapy classic. Dibs will not talk. He will not play. He has locked himself in a very special prison--and he is alone. This is the true story of how he learned to reach out for the sunshine, for life--how he came to the breathless discovery of himself that brought him back to the world of other children. Dibs in Search of Self is a true story by psychologist & author Virginia Mae Axline. It chronicles a year of play therapy sessions with an emotionally crippled boy from a wealthy, highly educated family. In spite of obvious signs he's gifted, his parents perceive him as mentally defective because he presents abnormal social behavior. He continuously isolates himself, shuns social contact, rarely speaks, physically lashes out at his sister & classmates, has homicidal ideation & displays anti-social behavior. He's misdiagnosed as autistic. To maintain anonymity, Axline gave him the Dibs pseudonym. She uses play therapy in order to communicate with him. Gradually, he's rehabilitated & brought back to normal social behaviors. Tested, he was a gifted child with a 168 IQ.

Focusing on a non-directive method of play therapy, this early work provides valuable insights through detailed records from actual therapy sessions. It is essential for those interested in child psychology and development. The book is part of a series that aims to republish classic texts from the early 1900s, making these scarce works more accessible in high-quality modern editions while preserving the original content and artwork.

Príbeh malého chlapca, ktorý sa volá DIBS. Nebude rozprávať. Nebude sa hrať. Zamkol sa do veľmi zvláštneho väzenia. A je sám. Toto je príbeh o tom, ako dokázal výjsť von na slnko, za životom…ako sa mu podarilo s námahou objavovať seba samého, čo ho priviedlo späť do sveta ostatných detí.
