  • Dibs in Search of Self is a book by clinical psychologist and author Virginia Axline published in 1964. The book chronicles a series of play therapy sessions over a period of one year with a boy (Dibs) who comes from a wealthy and highly educated family. Despite signs that he is gifted, his mother, father, and most of his teachers perceive him as having an emotional or cognitive disorder. Dibs presents abnormal social behavior by continuously isolating himself, rarely speaking, and physically lashing out at those around him. When Axline first meets Dibs's parents, they describe her as their son's last hope. In their weekly sessions together, Axline incorporates the principles of non-directive play therapy. Her approach to children was based on the humanistic concepts of Carl Rogers and person-centered therapy. Dibs is able to do and say whatever he wants during his hour in play therapy, while Axline provides patience and support. In this environment, Dibs slowly opens up and begins exploring his feelings. Axline's responses to Dibs are primarily reflections, demonstrating to Dibs that she is listening to him without judging him. By the end of the book, which spans the course of one full year, Dibs makes notable strides in his ability to express himself, identify and cope with his feelings, and interact socially with his peers and family. Dibs was subsequently tested at the end of his therapy and was found to score in the extremely gifted range, with an IQ of 168 on the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Test. (en)
  • Dibs söker sig själv (Dibs in Search of Self i original) är en fallstudie skriven av barnpsykoterapeuten Virginia M. Axline. Berättelsen skildrar den femårige Dibs, en emotionellt funktionsnedsatt pojke. Hans välbärgade och välutbildade föräldrar uppfattar honom som "sinnessvag", eftersom han beter sig asocialt. Dibs avskärmar sig och skyr social kontakt, talar sällan, sparkar och slår sin syster och skolkamrater, har mordisk idealisering. Han feldiagnostiseras som autistisk. För att skydda hans anonymitet kallas han i boken för "Dibs". Virginia M. Axline använder lekterapi för att kommunicera. Efterhand återanpassas Dibs och övergår till nästan normala sociala beteenden. Dibs var ett begåvat barn med en IQ av 168. Boken gavs ut för första gången i en engelskspråkig originalutgåva redan 1964. (sv)
