A Reaction to the book Dibs In Search of Self

Virginia M. Axline as the author, narrator of the intelligence, doctor-psychologist and being one of the pioneers in doing clinical cognitive technique using series of quicken therapy, successfully brought out the best of an emotionally crippled/mentally challenged Dibs. Way stick out in 1964, in which the book has published, neither the people nor the society do non understand and accept much(prenominal) Dibs condition and characterized it as a mental illness that family who has members like Dibs treat it as an embarrassing thing.Nowadays with modernise and advanced approach in research and studies, the society has evolved, and people outright be in possession of a broader mind of thinking, perspective and acceptance. There are outright some practices and scientific categories in which the case of Dibs can be classified advertisement as being a late-bloomer rather than autistic or mentally defective, which has normally evolved only(prenominal) after reaching a certain age .In that case, Axline was right lucky enough that she became the instrument of Dibs coming out from his bear institution as a new kid with lots of potentialities to give. Furthermore, it is understandable why Axline needed to hide the true identity of the kid and gave him the pseudonym Dibs, which in some ways, the whole story looks like a doubting half-truth narration.

But there are no stories in the novel about such thing. The book Dibs In Search of ego entails success over scientific method on unknown trials. It is Dibs who have the mental challenge issue and the main character of the book that is subjected to Axlines acquire of clinical cognitive technique via play therapy. But along the way, it is not only Dibs who surpassed the trial of fate.Rather, the book also imparts Axlines success of doing such play therapy approach.
