Jaan Valsiner’s chapter, in which he proposes a synthesis of two theoretical traditions, makes a major contribution to psychological theorising about culture and human development. Hitherto, “sociogenic” and “constructivist” perspectives often have been seen as opposed, because, it is argued, they make mutually exclusive assumptions about the nature of development.
