Viewing education through a psychological lens: the contributions of Barbara Biber.
Barbara Bibers major contribution to child development lay in the incisiveness with which she viewed the child's educational experience through a psychological lens. The unique perspective that she brought to bear to education greatly expanded our vision of all that is at stake in schooling. The extraordinary depth of her knowledge and understanding of child development gave rise to one of the earliest demonstrations of the fertility of adopting an interdisciplinary, orthopsychiatric approach to the educational process.
