Examines the value and importance of theory in child psychology, particularly with respect to clinical practice. Although it is readily apparent that theory is not an essential element of treatment, the role of theory is to provide a coherent framework for clinical intervention. Theory provides a foundation for understanding the presenting pathology, the factors that affect it, the patient's and therapist's roles within the context of treatment, and the specific intervention strategies to be utilized. Therapeutic commonalities are considered as they may affect treatment outcome, but they are not viewed as the essential factors in efficacy. The value and meaning of eclecticism are also discussed.
探讨理论在儿童心理学中的价值和重要性，尤其是在临床实践方面。虽然很明显理论并非治疗的关键要素，但理论的作用是为临床干预提供一个连贯的框架。理论为理解呈现出的病理状况、影响它的因素、治疗背景下患者和治疗师的角色以及要采用的具体干预策略奠定基础。会考量治疗的共性，因为它们可能影响治疗结果，但并不将其视为疗效的关键因素。还会讨论折衷主义的价值和意义。
