Dibs in Search of Self : The Renowned, Deeply Moving Story of an Emotionally Lost Child Who Found His Way Back by Virginia M. Axline (1986, Mass Market)
SynopsisThe classic of child therapy. 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.
This is a touching book and seems to be a staple/classic in the field of child psychology. Definitely made me think more about the issue of emotional neglect in childhood and the importance of early intervention.
