Vygotsky and the Vygotskians.

Simon, Joan

American Journal of Education, v95 n4 p609-13 Aug 1987

In an attempt to make Vygotsky's theories more accessible, Wertsch in "Vygotsky and the Social Formation of Mind" takes significant liberties with the original works. That leads to serious errors and moves the focus away from the author's own psychological theories. (PS)
