The article has three sections written by different scholars, each section talking about different concepts. The works of Ulrich Muller are addressed in the first section. The section talks about various disorders that children are likely to suffer from, including breakup disorders, mourning disorders, discrimination disorders, maltreatment disorders, and eating disorders. The scholar goes a notch higher to suggest some of the ways through which such disorders can be treated. He argues that his methods of curing disorders are parsimonious implying that they can be applied in other parts of the world, irrespective of time and space. The methods developed in the laboratory are easily transferred to real-life situations all over the world.
The second section of the article talks about the role of cognitive processes in the development of the child. The section talks about the works of Nelson and Thomas. Through research, the two scholars established that the behavior of an individual is influenced by the state of the mind. The researchers suggest that developmental psychologists should learn more about neurobiology in case they are to understand the behavior of children. The last section of the article reviews the works of Herve and Yuille on psychopaths. The two researchers conducted a study on the behavioral manifestations and disorders that affect human beings.
Personal Opinion
From the article, it is true that human beings suffer from a number of disorders, including bereavement disorders, eating disorders, and disorders that come about because of divorce. Each disorder is cured using a specific method. In curing disorders, psychologists employ a combination of methods to achieve effectiveness. However, all scholars in the article explain only clinical methods. No scholar explains a social technique yet most disorders are caused by social problems, such as divorce. In my opinion, disorders result from stress associated with a lack of coping skills. Therefore, scholars should devise methods aimed at preventive methods other than coming up with curative methods.
