Author : Virginia M. Axline

Virginia M. Axline was a pioneering figure in the field of child psychology and psychotherapy, renowned for her development and application of non-directive play therapy. Born in 1911, she earned her master's degree from Ohio State University, where she studied under the eminent psychologist Carl Rogers, whose client-centered approach influenced her work fundamentally. Axline's groundbreaking techniques emphasized the importance of providing children with a safe, accepting environment in which they could express themselves freely and resolve their own issues. Her contributions to the field are encapsulated in her seminal works, including "Play Therapy" and "Dibs in Search of Self," which have had a lasting impact on how therapists engage with children. Through her compassionate and innovative methods, Axline helped to illuminate the profound capabilities of children to overcome emotional and psychological challenges when given the right support and understanding.
