Abstract
The Piagetian paradigm holds considerable promise for providing developmental depth to extant cognitive therapy models, as well as for generating clinical guidelines and strategies. It also offers theoretical and empirical support for much of what is already current practice (Rosen, 1985). The primary aim of this chapter is to provide a succinct exposition of Piaget’s theory and to examine a leading model of cognitive therapy from its perspective.
