They provide intriguing examples and research evidence on the young child's invocation of imaginary friends, the adolescent's daring, rule-governed games, and the adult's private imagery and inner thought. In chapters that will be important to parents and policymakers, the authors discuss television and the imagination, the healing function of play, and the effects of playfulness and creativity throughout the life span. 606 $aPlay$xPsychological aspects 606 $aImagination in children 606 $aDevelopmental psychology 615 0$aPlay$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aImagination in children. 615 0$aDevelopmental psychology. 676 $a155.4/18 700 $aSinger$b Dorothy G$0728988 701 $aSinger$b Jerome L$0141853 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813534003321 996 $aThe house of make-believe$93970254 997 $aUNINA
