Dibs in Search of Self

One of my favorite books by far ( )

I gave this book five stars. It is a great example of how children NEED a lot of love and attention and if they do not receive these things, there can be horrible outcomes like there was with the main character, Dibs. Dibs suffered from lack of an emotional connection but after many therapy sessions, he finally backs though and actually makes a connection with this therapist and his family. This book can be used to promote love and affection. ( )

Sometimes all you need is LOVE! Dib's didn't talk, he had horrible tantrums People thought he was mentally retarded, but after months of play therapy he finally came around and was above average on his IQ test he read at age 2 and his family finally cared and loved him. ( )

This is a very interesting book that gives insight to the concept of developing self. It is centered around a little boy named Dibs, who no one in his life seems to understand. He is a boy who is trapped in his own world of solitude. I think this book is a must read for every child psychology major, child studies major, and any major that has to do with interacting with children. ( )

This book has a very good insight into how an individual interacts with a world that doesnt except them. Although the novel is very repetitive in terms of the factual play therapy sessions, once read, it gives an epiphany into how society and even our loved ones can cause us such pain. i really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to others.
