Book Description
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.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“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.”
