Reader reviews for Dibs in Search of Self
Review summary
Readers describe this as a moving, accessible case study of non-directive play therapy, praising the vivid session narratives, the therapist’s unconditional positive regard, and the child’s compelling voice. Educators and clinicians often find it inspiring or instructive, though it is not a technical manual. Critics question its plausibility and ethics, citing a compressed timeline, lack of diagnostic clarity or method, and reliance on now-outdated views of autism and “refrigerator” parenting, with some suspecting composite or fictionalized elements. Overall, it’s seen as an engaging, historically significant read best approached with critical context.
