Excellent when written, but dated now,

This review is from: Developmental Psychology of Jean Piaget (University Series in Psychology) (Hardcover)
Flavell provides a detailed and comprehensive guide to the thought and work of Jean Piaget that was without peer when written. Unfortunately, Piaget continued to work for almost 20 years following the publication of this book. The strength of Flavell's work is the 297 page summary of Piaget's theory. Like most summaries of Piaget's work, chapters are devoted to the sensory-motor period, preoperational thought, concrete operations and formal operations, but I found the introduction to Piaget's epistemology (chapter 7) and Flavell's comparative definition of Piaget's model of intelligence (chapter 2) to be most enlightening. Flavell writes with a flowery tone somewhat unusual in developmental psychology, but spares little in his attempt to explicate the intricacies of Piaget's thought in a balanced, but critical, manner. Nonetheless, I prefer the shorter work by Herbert P. Ginsburg and Sylvia Opper titled "Piaget's Theory of Intellectual Development." This later work is more comprehensive in that it includes Piaget's entire career, and makes better use of experiments as illustrations that Flavell does.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Developmental Psychology of Jean Piaget (Paperback)
According to many references, this is the best English version of Piaget theory out there. BUY THIS BOOK! It contains cited examples of the observations you read about second-hand. I would not sell my AMAZON used purchase for 100 x what I paid (only $11). If you can buy this for Kindle...jump at the chance.
