Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of a child's mind, exploring how they develop their understanding of the world around them. The author, a pioneer in child psychology, employs a unique methodââ âthe "clinical examination"ââ âto uncover the hidden beliefs and thought processes of young children. This approach goes beyond simple observation, involving careful questioning and analysis of children's responses. The book examines a range of intriguing concepts: how children perceive thought, the origin of names and their relationship to objects, the nature of dreams, and the fascinating phenomenon of animismââ âthe tendency to attribute life and consciousness to inanimate objects. The author also explores the origins of "artificialism," the belief that natural phenomena, such as the sun and moon, were created by humans. These ideas are presented within the larger context of the development of the child's sense of self and their understanding of cause and effect. Through meticulous observation and insightful analysis, the author reveals the remarkable complexities of the child's mind, offering a unique perspective on the ways in which children construct their own understanding of the world. The book's insights serve as a valuable guide for understanding the developmental stages of human thought.
