Entwicklungsphasen des Kindes

The brilliant versatility of Professor Lievegoed, who has taken on the issues of human and humanity's education both as a doctor and, above all, as an anthroposophist, is clearly evident in this thorough and fundamental work on the physiological and psychological development of children and young people in the first three seven-year periods. His perspective, trained in the spiritual science of Rudolf Steiner, extends far beyond conventional research findings. In his introduction, Lievegoed states, among other things: This work assumes that within the human physical and spiritual development, both a genetic potentiality and a biographical one are at work. The latter reveals itself within consciousness as the self (our deepest essence). Contents include: The three developmental periods, physical development.
