ABSTRACT
The previous chapter showed how certain Marxist psychologists renounced powerful intuitions of Marxism that could not penetrate the psychological discipline without blowing it up. But the chapter also taught us that other Marxist psychologists opted to transform psychology into something different. In Sève and Kornilov, psychology became anthropology; in Wallon, biology and sociology; in Politzer, literary fiction and dramatic science; in Leontiev, the theory of activity; in Pavlov and Bejterev, physiology and reflexology. Even in Meyerson, who conserved the exteriorized interiority, the discipline is transformed into historical science. Parallel to this, and following the same logic, in other authors psychology became Marxist psychoanalysis, the topic of this chapter.
