Description

This is a good source to understand the Soviet’s view of child development and has a more recent publication date which allows it to cover most of the history of psychology in the Soviet Union (except for the last few years). It discuses the influential Lev Vygotsky and other cultural concepts of developmental psychology. Valsiner attributes the interest of Soviet psychology to not only political but also natural interest in the field of psychology. He also writes that developmental psychology is important to understand the social processes occurring in the Soviet Union.
