Integrating the power of cognitive psychology with biodevelopmental principles, psychoanalytic concepts, and the child clinician’s need for new technology, Santostefano presents techniques to assess cognition and a treatment method “cognitive control therapy.” The basic intention is to illustrate the value of looking at normal and pathological human behavior through the lens that is formed by cognitive, developmental, and psychoanalytic principles and observations, placing the psychodynamic concept of cognitive controls at the center.
