Piotr Galperin: His lifelong quest for the content of psychology

Abstract

As early as the end of the 1960s, the Dutch psychologists Carel van Parreren (1920Parreren ( -1991) ) and Jacques Carpay (1933) recognized the significanee of the work of the Soviet psychoiogist Piotr Gal 'perin.Together they introduced it to psychologists and educators in Belgium and the Netherlands.They kindled my interest in Soviet psychology as an undergraduate at Utrecht University, and moreover, it was through their efforts that I was able to study as an exchange student at Moscow University where I heard Gal'perin lecture on his new approach to psychology.Hence, I am most grateful to Carel van Parreren and Jacques Carpay, but I also wish to express my sineere gratitude to Gerard Westhoff, who has followed this project from its beginnings and has taken an instrumental role in it.They have all continuously encouraged me to work on this book and without their support it would not have 'materialized.'Besides them, Hans van Rappard and Bert van Oers have read and commented on earlier drafts of this book.lan Brodie and Leen
