Possibilities and pitfalls in clinical applications of cognitive-developmental theory

Leonard A. Breslow

Abstract

Two main approaches to applying Piaget's theory of cognitive development to the study of child psychopathology are represented in this chapter. In one approach, the authors hypothesize relations between cognitive development and socioemotional development. In the other, the authors use the cognitive theory as a source of material, drawing selectively from it in order to construct a model of socioemotional development.
