For fifty years Barbel Inhelder (1913-1997) was the research
companion of Jean Piaget. In this unique volume, published in her
honour, leading international researchers examine the various
aspects of her work and ideas and her contribution to developmental
psychology. Following an initial chapter establishing Inhelder's
stature as an independent researcher in her own right, the various
research topics that she explored are reviewed and discussed with
specific reference to her own perspective and in the chronological
order in which she approached them. While the book explores
Inhelder's work with her more famous colleague, it also highlights
areas of research in which her ideas were at variance with those of
Piaget, such as mental imagery, and areas in which her innovations
have not been fully recognised, such as her discovery of the formal
operations stage - an event usually attributed to Piaget - and her
introduction of longitudinal studies in the field of cognitive
development. Her research, viewpoint and contribution in other
fields such as mental retardation, learning, and cross-cultural
issues in development are also discussed. The final chapter,
written by Inhelder herself, deals with experimental reasoning in
children and adolescents and provides a glimpse of her creativity.
