The definite account of psychologist Jean Piaget's work

Jean Piaget's influence on psychology has been profound. His pathbreaking investigations and theories of cognitive development have set child psychology moving in entirely new directions. His bold speculations have provided the inspiration for the work of others. His studies have been the subject of many books and countless articles. And, significantly, his influence has spread to other disciplines and is having an ever-growing impact on the general culture at large.

Here Jean Piaget, with the assistance of his long-time collaborator BÃ¤el Inhelder, offers a definitive presentation of the developmental psychology he has elaborated over the last forty years. This comprehensive synthesis traces each stage of the child's cognitive development, over the entire period of childhood, from infancy to adolescence.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"A careful reading of The Psychology of the Child" reveals the fruitful intuition of one of the twentieth century's most imaginative scholars."―Jerome Kagan, Harvard University

"An outstanding introduction to Piaget's work."―Publishers Weekly

"Because Piaget asked new questions—cognitive-organismic questions—the whole train of developmental research has been turned in a new direction. A rare treat is in store for the reader."―American Journal of Psychiatry

More than just child development

Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2023

Verified Purchase

Piaget isn't interested in children per se, but rather intelligence. Observing intelligence at different stages of development provides insight into what intelligence actually entails and how it functions. As someone who studies cognitive psychology, Piaget provides one of the most concrete and comprehensive descriptions of intelligence that I've found in the literature.

I highly recommend this book as an introduction, although I'll say it is just an introduction, and many of the ideas he discusses here cannot be fully understood without further reading.

The birth of a field by the father of psycholinguistics

This is one of around twenty books by Piaget about various aspects of child develop. It is the preeminent example of good science and the founding evidence for our understanding of how children learn language and learn about their physical, social and cultural world. It is a must read still today for anyone working in the area of child language, child learning, children's intelligence or children's deficits.
