    Touching & Thoughtful Book

    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.

    For deeper understanding of the child

    This book was recommended to me by a play therapist who has been working in the field for many years. Since Virginia Axline was a pioneer of play therapy, and writes about her first-hand experiences with Dibs in the playroom, the book is very informative about her thinking process. Her complete acceptance of this child, and his growth into his unique self is inspiring. Some passages are outdated, as it was first published in 1964. For example, Ms. Axline offers Dibs' mother, who came to a meeting obviously very nervous, a cigarette to help her relax. Too funny, in this day and age! All in all a good book, filled with great advice and detailed methods.

    It came in a timely manner and was described accurately

    I bought it for my Psychology class because I needed it. My only complaint is the small print. It kind of hurt my eyes. But other than that, it was a great book! Amazing author Virginia M. Axline did an amazing job on describing her characters.

    An insightful book

    This book was most intriguing. I couldn't put it down! It documented the therapy process through which young Dibs ventured out of his own world of fear and social dysfunction and began to relate to others. It taught excellent lessons about the value of love, care, understanding, and acceptance of the whole person. It also served as a serious reminder of the consequences of not displaying these traits, particularly toward children. Very worthwhile.
