Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
This book deals with the common problems of the psychology of personality, the differences between mental health and a healthy personality, and what inner mechanisms lead to deviations from the norm and the formation of abnormal personality. Secondly, the book deals with the prospects of and ways to prevent and treat abnormalities. This is one of the first books to come out of what was the former Soviet Union and vividly portrays the work of one psychologist seeking answers to problems by linking psychology to philosophy, ethics, and practice.
Presents important discussions on topics typically not presented previously in texts from Russia and details the analysis of abnormal personality development through exploration of alcoholics. Incorporates the studies of respected scholars such as L.S. Vygotsky to support author's efforts and provides investigative methods that establish the relationship differences between "explaining" and "understanding" psychology.
Review
...a fascinating book...carefully edited...clearly, Luria was ahead of his time; in fact, he remains ahead of us now in many ways.
