Post-Soviet Perspectives on Russian Psychology Hardback
by Albert R. Gilgen, Carol K. Gilgen, Vera Koltsova, Yuri Oleinik
Part of the International Contributions in Psychology series
Hardback
Description
The study of psychology for the uses of the state, for industrial/labor purposes, for dealing with individual and ethnic tensions has a long history in Russia.
With the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russian psychologists and scholars of the discipline from outside Russia have had the opportunity to reexamine the directions the discipline took as well as the directions likely to result from the new academic and political environments.
This volume brings together many of the leading figures in contemporary Russian psychology, who show how the discipline got to where it is and examine what may result in the future. The volume begins with essays examining historical background; next the writers look at the period from 1985-1994 and its impact on research opportunities.
This discussion is followed by a review of the major theoretical viewpoints and issues in contemporary Russian psychology.
By bringing together many of the leading figures in Russian psychology, readers and researchers in psychology have a unique insight into the state of the discipline and its likely future directions.
