Abstract(s)

ln this paper, the author describes Piaget’s basic assurnptions and formulations, and assesses their significance for psychoanalysis. Piagetian stages in cognitive development are described and briefly analysed. ln the analytic situation, the patient functions simultaneously at two different levels, one of them (the conscious level) attuned to the aditlt world; the other (the unconscious) makes use of structitres which are much more primitive in imture, bearing the hallmark of significant modes of functioning, including aspects of cognition derived from various early stages. The author stands that childhood theories, be. liefs, assumptions and premises continue to operate in the present and thaí any new information or experience will be apperceived and respoluled to according to the theories and structures of the persisting unconscious world. Psychoanalysis is relatively impoverished in its conceptualization of cognitive processes and the detailed study of cognition might be relevan! to psychoanalysis, both theoretically and clinically.
