Vygotsky (1983) criticized a linear model of organization of pathological syndromes such as that characteristic of the clinical descriptive method. He proposed instead a hierarchical model that required identification of the primary defect directly responsible for the disorder in the morphophysiological substrate and of secondary and tertiary structures, some of which are a consequence of the primary defect, others are formed indirectly, and still others are a response of the personality to the defect. The advantage of this approach is that it enables one to establish cause-and-effect relations among pathological symptoms of varying complexity and to focus psychotherapeutic and remedial interventions on the appropriate level of the disorder.","PeriodicalId":198083,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Russian and East European Psychology","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127023374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fewer that 50% of children achieve the level of school readiness by the age of 6. The general deterioration in the social and ecological situation has had the effect that in 1994, only 10% of school-leavers and 15.1% of preschoolers were recorded as healthy. The poor health of preschoolers is one of the many factors shaping adaptation to the stress of study and the school regime, the result being a sharp deterioration in the state of children's mental and physical health (Russian Federation, 1995).","PeriodicalId":198083,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Russian and East European Psychology","volume":"94 5 Pt 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130706434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
