Fyodor Vasilyuk's Psychology of Experiencing presents a Russian view of the process of "living through" a psychological crisis. This view is informed by both Vygotsky's psychological and Bakhtin's philosophical traditions and illustrated by Dostoevsky's Raskolnikov. Vasilyuk's ideas constitute an important contribution to humanistic psychology and to a new era of Russian psychology.
