This is the story of a little boy named Dibs. He would not talk. He would not play. Judged mentally defective, he was oblivious both to other children and to his teacher; in reality he was a brilliant, lovely child trapped in a prison of fear and rage, a prison from which only he could release himself. And through psychotherapy and love, he did.
DECEMBER, Monday 20: Dibs is the only real person I ever met in the classroom who could teach me what it means to be a complete person
As a psychoanalyst I welcome this book with all my heart - D.W Winnicott in New Society
