"Researchers and clinicians will find this volume to be a valuable
addition to the growing clinical literature concerned with the application
of developmental and constructivist concepts to the domains of counseling
and psychotherapy...The breadth and depth of the scholarship in this volume
suggests that the constructivist perspective holds great promise for illuminating
basic principles and processes of human change over the course of the
life span."
-- Contemporary Psychology
This volume is the result of a symposium titled "Constructivist Approaches
to Atypical Development and Developmental Psychopathology." What emerges
from the work included here is a record of innovative extensions, refinements,
and applications of the concept of constructivism. The chapters not only
demonstrate the compatibility of constructivism with investigations of
atypicality, but also the generation of a constructivist perspective for
a wide array of problems in developmental psychology.
Audience:
Of value to professionals in the fields of developmental, life- span,
and clinical psychology.
