Аннотация:This article presents a historiographic and theoretical methodological study of the
establishment
of the fundamental theses of L. S. Vygotsky’s cultural-historical concept
within the field of clinical psychology.
We prove the potency of contemporary philosophical concepts that help distinguish the
types of scientific rationality (classical, nonclassical, and postnonclassical) when these
concepts are applied to reflection about the development of psychology and the paradigmatic
cultural-historical concept suggested by Vygotsky and the L. S. Vygotsky–A.
R. Luria syndrome approach.
Present studies of the works of Vygotsky and his followers demonstrate that the fundamentals
of the cultural-historical concept reveal not only the nonclassical but also
the postnonclassical model of scientific rationality. They are characterized by the postnonclassical
understanding of the object and method of psychological study and the
postnonclassical mode of thinking of contemporary psychologists.
The general methodological requirements formulated for the organization of mental
studies, on the whole, are in line with the requirements introduced for the study
of complex self-developing systems. Vygotsky produced arguments to prove that the
Vygotsky-
Luria syndrome approach describes mental syndromes as dynamic structures
in that they display the features of self-organization, self-determination, and adaptive
rationality. Hence, they can be regarded as open self-developing systems.
We propose and verify the hypothesis that syndrome analysis, because of the features
of postnonclassical modeling of scientific rationality that it reveals, may be regarded
as a theoretically productive methodological approach in contemporary psychological
studies.
