Abstract

The present work emphasizes the Piagetian model and the work of Neo-Piagetians. In the present chapter, I try to place this work in the context of a metatheoretical frame and in relation to other major schools of thought in developmental psychology. I develop a model based on the biopsychosocial formulation, termed the bio-personal-social model. Surprisingly, I discovered that Piaget had written about a similar conceptualization.
