title: The theoretical bases of Soviet psychotherapy.
abstract: Beginning in the 1930's all Western psychologic theories, especially psychoanalysis, were labeled reactionary. Pavlov's theory remained as the sole "truly materialistic" basis for Soviet psychotherapy. Only in recent years has theoretical research shown signs of life. Certain concepts from cybernetics, information theory, and even social psychology are now used widely.
