“INCREDIBLE book! Amazing insights to children's minds/hearts. Watching the parents face their own fears rather than pushing those fears onto their child and watching the child forgive and learn to love himself and his parents is EMPOWERING. Such a good book. Yes, it has a happy ending. It's not weird or gross like the Child Called It. It's all from the therapist's perspective. ”

“This was a very interesting book, following the path of events of an extraordinary boy in search of himself, hence the title. Dibs is a character that anyone would feel close to and interested by easily, and learning his story was very ... nice. I'm glad to have 'meet' Dibs.

“The quintessential case history of how to listen. I trust she did not exaggerate, and I wonder where this person is now. ”

Megan S wrote this review Sunday, February 13, 2011. ( reply | permalink ) Was this review helpful? Yes | No“AS Psychodynamic 'Study in Detail' - a case study of a child going through therapy. This was a humanistic, 'child-centred' therapy, although Dibs' actions can be interpreted psychodynamically. We can contrast this study with Freud's case study of 'Little Hans'.”
