Questions: Introduction: Can someone provide an informative summary of Dibs in search of self? Condense the content of the work by highlighting its main points and key supporting points.

Supportive Paragraphs: Next, formulate a case conceptualization utilizing the following questions as guides. Your supportive paragraphs should address the following questions:

• Using DSM-5 criteria, what diagnosis/diagnoses would you assign to Dibs? Justify your answer by describing the symptoms as they are presented in the diagnostic criteria. Also identify and provide specific examples of the ways in which Dibs expressed these symptoms.
• Explain how you understand Dibs from a developmental psychopathology perspective. In what developmental domains is he struggling (i.e. emotional, social, language, cognitive)?
• What developmental contexts (e.g., biological, individual, family, social, cultural) are relevant to our understanding of Dibs' emotional, behavioral, and developmental problems? Also consider relevant developmental resources (e.g., protective factors). What transactional processes likely contributed to the development of Dib's difficulties?
• Based on your previously provided responses, what treatment would you recommend for Dibs and why? You can incorporate into your recommendations aspects of Axline's non-directive play therapy approach but you should include at least one additional treatment component or modality. Keep in mind also that the story was written in 1964! What does current research suggest with respect to recommended child and family interventions (e.g., evidence- based treatments)?
