Bushmakina, O. N., Sirotkin, S. F. Prerequisites for critical psychology in Russia

Abstract: Abstract: as a rule, general prerequisites for beginning and development of the critical psychology include Marks’ theory of activity, psychoanalysis, postmodernism and feminism. These theoretical traditions were initially formed as the society’s criticism of ideology and classical psychology. In this way or another, all of them are connected with the idea of realizing the human vocation in the social, historical and cultural environment.
