Re: [xmca] Re: Psych in Ussr?

[Anton Yasnitsky <the_yasya@yahoo.com>]

Hi Mike, 


Thanks for the forward: the topic is interesting, indeed, and is well worth a special issue. I guess I might presently have a half-cooked, almost-forgotten paper that I could eventually to contribute, and seem to know a couple of guys whose papers might also fit into this Cold War special issue of the journal, especially so since this is edition is not focused exclusively (predominantly) on psychology, unlike the APA journal History of Psychology. 

Yet,  I am wondering if there is anybody out there on this XMCA list who might be interested in joining the gang of the potential contributors to this special issue on Cold War science in from the Soviet perspective. Any volunteers, perhaps?


Best,

Anton

Hi Ian-- I am cc'ing the discussion group, XMCA, on this reply because I
think that the topic will be of interest to them. Moreover,
some might have useful materials to contribute.

I fear the topic may be complicated for some because the key figures on the
international scale were also key figures on an
interpersonal scale-- living memory.

Your cold war issue looks interesting.

Do you know of anything good on the relation of Soviet Psychology to the
human potential movement? With the fall of the USSR, one of the first
psychologists to really grab people's attention was Carl Rogers. That
connection always
 struck me as interesting.
