This is a true story of a 5-year old boy called Dibs.
He has an IQ score of 168, and a reading score well beyond children of his age but he is regarded by his parents as autistic, mentally retarded or schizophrenic.
He does not play or talk. Nor smile or laugh. To most people, he is a soul-less body.
He yearns for the love and respect of him as a human being and a child and yet he is most emotionally rejected and hurt by the origin of his life.
He imprisons himself in the barricade of anger and fear and yet he longs for the freedom to be just himself as a child and fly.
It’s a true story of this little boy, Dibs, who struggles to establish the security of his own world with an inner sense firmness when he is given all the respect and trust he deserves as a human being in the therapy room, without criticisms and conditional positive regards.
May be Dibs is of no familiarity to you, nor are his parents. But we were all once children. We all longed for love and respect and we still do.
We may have children now. We may also have children in the future.
Then, Dibs in Search of Self may offer you a precious journey back into your childhood in search of yourself and offers you insights of the meaning of parenthood and mental development of your own child.
You may also get a glimpse of what humanistic child discipline is all about and what Jesus meant by“unforced rhythm of grace”.
