Dulas is acomputergenerated(计算机生成的) character created by Julia Borbolla, a Mexican

child psychologist.It is one of several "emotional agents" Borbolla has invented that are being

recognized in Mexico City as capable of gaining access to the inner lives of children.

Dulas, like all of these characters, has big eyes and radioantennas(天线). The characters

collectively go by the name Antenas because they all have antennas and come from a planet called

Antenopolis. Dulas knows nothing about life on earth, not even what a mother or father is. Wearing

rabbit slippers in hospital, he doesn't like to talk with adults－so children can trust his companionship.

Over the past five years, Borbolla's characters have been used to assist 2,000 children from 3 to

14 years old, and have been employed in three Mexico City hospitals and a center for disabilities in

another city, Morelia.

Researchers have been usingpuppets(木偶) to help children express and process their feelings for

decades. But Borbolla, who has been working with children for 30 years, has taken this kind of work

a step further.

The children meet the characters in a room, without adults present; doctors monitor with cameras.

They have to handle the information carefully. One principle of the work is that a doctor must not make

it known that he knows something that was said to an Antenas character privately. This preserves the

trust of the child's relationship with the character.

Borbolla originally got the idea to use a drawing of a cartoon character to communicate with

children when she was working as a school psychologist in the 1980s. Years later, in private practice,

she worked with a puppet maker to develop a software version.She spent six years improving the tool.

"The psychologists I spoke with said the tool creates an environment of trust and understanding that

enables them to understand children's issues more quickly than they imagined possible," said Borbolla.

To date, Antenas hasn't been carefully studied, and Borbolla is working with researchers to examine

its effect. "I see how powerful it is," she told me. "It can be used to get into the souls of children."
