and its Function in Mental Development Ruth Griffiths creator Oxford Routledge 20141202 1 g eng 384 p This is Volume IX of thirty-two on a series on Developmental Psychology. First published in 1935, this study looks at the development of imagination in children. Which uses a method in which observation of the free behaviour of children plays the principal role, but in which experimental technique is represented by a somewhat rigorous control of conditions, by a discreet use of question and answer, and by an emphasis on the necessity for accurate and full report, while psychoanalysis, at the same time, contributes a depth of insight, a realization of the importance of affective factors, and an alertness for the significance of detail. 9781138875128 Taylor & Francis 01 250312 20250317100417.0 1138875120
