Systemic cognitive development and family dysfunction
There are many theories’ that address human development. Piaget’s cognitive theory was “expanded and modified by Allen Ivey” (Nugent & Jones, pg. 80). Piaget’s theory relates “mostly to childhood and adolescence, Ivey added another stage that addresses dialectic/systematic stage” (Nugent & Jones, pg. 81). Ivey called his “model DCT or developmental counseling and therapy” (Nugent & Jones, pg. 82). Sandra Rigazio-DiGilio expanded upon Ivey’s theory of human development into a “therapeutic systems model called systemic cognitive-developmental therapy or SCDT” (Nugent & Jones, pg. 82).
Importance of Theory Theory can be a crucial component of therapy. It can guide a counselor in “understanding a client’s problem” (Nugent & Jones, pg. 86). A counselor may rely heavily on theory to “hypothesize possible solutions to their client’s problems” (Nugent & Jones, pg. 86). A counselors success or failure can be determined by what approach the counselor chooses” (Nugent & Jones, pg. 86). Imagine what value therapy would have is the counselor was just winging it? A “trial and error approach is both ineffective and harmful to the client” (Nugent & Jones, pg. 86). This is one reason why following a theoretical approach is so important.

She makes a” jump from the individual to the family or systematic behavioral dimension” (Terry, 1994). Her expansion was based on three different aspects. Rigazio-DiGilio first aspect was “structuring interview strategies to the client’s current cognitive development level” (Terry, 1994). The second aspect she addressed was to apply Piaget’s model of individual growth to a multi-member system” (Terry, 1994). Families “evolve a preferred cognitive developmental orientation” (Terry,
