This view of psychology and human behavior emphasizes the role of the  unconscious mind , early childhood experiences, and interpersonal relationships to explain human behavior and to treat people suffering from mental illnesses.

Stages of Cognitive Development : sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, formal operational. Assimilation and Accommodation Jean Piaget (1952; see also Wadsworth, 2004) viewed intellectual growth as a process of  adaptation  (adjustment) to the world.

Accommodation – This happens when the existing schema (knowledge) does not work, and needs to be changed to deal with a new object or situation. Equilibration – This is the force which moves development along. Piaget believed that cognitive development did not pro...
