Vygotsky at Work and Play is an intimate portrayal of the
Vygotskian-inspired approach to human development known as 'social
therapeutics' and 'the psychology of becoming'. Holzman provides an
accessible, practical-philosophical portrayal of a unique
performance-based methodology of development and learning that
draws upon a fresh reading of Vygotsky. This expanded edition
includes new content dealing with how Lev Vygotsky's work can be
applied to profound social issues of our times, including worsening
police/community relations, authoritarianism in schools, the
medical-model approach to social/emotional life, and the erosion of
play in Western cultures. Holzman also weaves together Vygotsky's
discoveries with qualitative case studies from organizations that
practice the approach in psychotherapy offices, classrooms,
outside-of-school programs, corporate workplaces and virtual
learning environments. The new edition of Vygotsky at Work and Play
poses a practical-critical challenge to more traditional
conceptions and methods of psychology and education, introducing
performance as a new ontology and the author's own activist
research performance as a new way to do psychology. It is an
essential read for researchers and professionals in educational and
developmental psychology, psychotherapy, cultural historical
activity, social science, performance studies and education.
