Developmental therapy (Topical Term)

Work cat.: Ivey, A.E. Developmental therapy, c1986: pref. p. v-vi (The theory put forth in this book has highly specific therapeutic implications: 1) it is possible to identify the cognitive development level of the client; 2) match nonverbal interventions to the specific cognitive level of client, thus facilitating exploration and later cognitive development processes. It seems feasible to match counseling skills and theory to the observable developmental level of client. One important extension of this approach is that different therapeutic modalities are especially effective for particular cognitive levels.)
