Holzman challenges us to look at our deeply rooted assumptions about schooling, learning, and development, and contends that the way psychology and education have constructed our conceptions of what it means to teach, to learn, and to grow might be the most serious impediment to the learning and development of children. Going beyond critique, Holzman presents an original methodological reformulation of what learning and development are as relational activities and, guided by this new perspective, takes the reader on a visit to three radical independent school settings — two in the United States and one in Russia. Readers are urged to see and create new educational possibilities for themselves and their students. (Lawrence Earlbaum, Assoc., 1997) $24.95
