Accounts of the crisis in psychology - Vygotski and critical psychology

Abstract

The analysis of the structure of the crisis in psychology by Vygotski is compared with that by critical psychology and by the educational psychologists (first half of the 1990). To overcome the crisis the correspondance between the right definition of the object, the use of the "indirect methods" and the social application of the psychological knowledge has to be reached.
