THE INFANT'S WORLD

Philippe Rochat

Harvard University Press, 2001

Readers will learn about the traditional developmental approaches to the infant, such as Piaget's, and the view of Rochat that, in their particular ecological niche, their behaviors make great sense. They learn how infants develop understanding about their selves, about objects and the interpersonal world. Any readers will begin to understand Rochat's theory that infancy is a series of important transitions, "revolutions" that are dramatic changes of their state and their possibilities of understanding.
