Product Overview
Joransky (history, Northwestern) examines conceptions of the human mind in Russia from the 1860s to the 1960s drawing not only on psychologists and neurophysiologists, but also on imperial and revolutionary political ideologues, science historians, and such writers as Dostoevsky and Chekhov. He compares the biases and constraints to those in Western psychology. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
