Given that Jean Piaget's influence on psychology has been pervasive, that his writings are complex, and that (probably because of that
complexity) he is often cited by reference to secondary sources, Droz and Rahmy have written this book as “a working tool for those who make the effort to read the primary sources, in the hope of assisting them in their endeavor and guiding them at times.” It is “a book of techniques and methods for approaching a particular author” (p. 1). One chapter synthesizes the major aspects of Piaget's work; another consists of “itineraries for reading Piaget”-reading programs in, for example, the development of the child from birth to two years, and the function and development of memory. Those who have found it difficult to identify which of Piaget's voluminous writings would best meet their interests should find this guide a worthwhile investment.
