Synopsis

In The Good Box, expert practitioner Phoebe Caldwell combines source material from two of her pioneering works with new insights, additions and updates to create an accessible guide to understanding and helping those who struggle with sensory issues due to autism.

In her influential book The Anger Box, Phoebe shifted attention away from the surface symptoms of autism and towards understanding sensory experiences and alleviating the distress associated with them. ‘The Anger Box’ of the title was a child’s drawing of how he felt when he lost control due to sensory overload. The book ended with the same child’s ‘Good Box’, representing his experience of relief and calm.

Bringing together ideas and material from The Anger Box as well as the later Hall of Mirrors, Shards of Clarity, and integrating updates and findings from a further decade of autism research, The Good Box gathers and extends insights from a pioneer of the field now in her ninetieth year. It also reflects a shift of focus away from distress and towards acceptance and more positive interpretations of autistic experiences.
