Quote from book, "The publication of this volume marks a significant event in the world of psychology. A collaborative effort between the editors and over thirty distinguished Soviety psychologists, it provides the first comprehensive, historically based account of the main lines of development and the chief advances of Soviety psychological science. Admirably translated into English, the thirty substantial chapters of this volume, each written by a Soviety psychologist eminent in his field, cover the full range of psychology in the U.S.S.R., with emphasis on subjects of special interest to Western psychologists. the American editors, in addition to supplying an introduction and extensive bibliographies, place each chapter in historical and cultural perspective and provide sufficient detail to allow Western psychologists to purse lines of research discussed in the text. In a foreword written with A.N. Leont'ev and A.A. Smirnov, the eminent Soviet psychologist precedented achievement, in scope and depth, in an area in which scientific communication has been to say the least inadequate. attempts at acquainting the English speaking reader with the investigations being carried out by Soviet psychologists have until now been of a relatively fragmentary nature. the present work, however differs from these in that the authors of the chapters present the main branches of Soveity psychology as fully as possible; thus the reader will find a relatively complete account of what has been accomplished by Soviet psychological science within the past several decades.'" About the editors: "Michael Cole, Associate Professor of Psychology at the university of California, Irvine, was a Visiting Scholar at Moscow State university in 1962-1963. he is the co-author of The New mathematics and an Old Culture. Irving Maltzman, Professor of Psychology at U.C.L.A. has studied in the U.S.S.R. and is best known for his research in the application of conditioning principles to higher mental processes."
