This book chronicles the incredible true story of a deeply brilliant but profoundly traumatized five-year-old boy named Dibs. Withdrawn into complete silence, emotionally isolated, and prone to violent tantrums, Dibs is misdiagnosed by teachers and his wealthy parents as mentally disabled. As a last resort, renowned child psychologist Dr. Virginia Axline begins weekly non-directive play therapy sessions with him. Through creative play, toys, and paint, Dibs slowly reveals his high intelligence, unlocks his hidden emotional scars, and embarks on a moving journey toward healing and self-discovery.
