Theorien der Kinderpsychologie in der klinischen zahnärztlichen Praxis

Psychological development is a dynamic process that begins at birth and progresses in ascending order through a series of successive stages, which manifest in various characteristic behaviors. These stages are influenced by genetic, familial, cultural, interpersonal, and intrapsychic factors. The professional dentist who works with children and takes responsibility for their health care acts as a substitute parent and can delegate certain aspects of parental care to the child, much like a doctor or teacher.
