	Theory & Psychology
		Newman and Holzman's reformulation of Vygotskyan psychology, centering around the notions of 'tool and result', 'the practice of method', and 'completion', are, like their later attempts to criticize and find practice-based alternatives to scientific psychology, and even to epistemology in general, thought-provoking and relevant.
		Newman and Holzman assert that the zone of proximal development was the uniquely human psychological unit of study, which is actually a social-historical unit, the unity of learning and development.
		Newman and Holzman explain that the development community is concerned neither with the objective study of subjectivity nor with the subjective study of objectivity, but merely interested in discovering-in practice-a logic of development.

	Schools for Growth: Radical Alternatives to Current Educational Models (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Although Holzman appreciates the constructivist focus on activity, she rejects its dualism of social and private, its assumption of causality, and its mentalism.
		Holzman’s emphasis on revolutionary activity as the purpose of education is deeply rooted in the Russian notion of lichnost’ (a person’s wholeness and potential), Marxist-Hegelian philosophy, and the philosophy of postmodernism.
		Holzman’s book ends with the author’s hope that the reader will follow her rather than dialogue with her, that among her readers’questions "are not only ones like ‘Is this true?’ ‘Will that work?’ and ‘Do I agree?’ but also ‘Can I do that?’" (p.

	SOCIAL THERAPY AT APA_NOT VERY SOCIABLE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		One item of interest to me was the willingness of the APA Board to allow Dr. Lois Holzman and her various underlings to speak 4 times this year at the convention.
		When word got around to concerned individuals that the APA had rewarded Social Therapy and Dr. Lois Holzman with four separate presentations this year at the APA conference, a small email campaign was launched with complaints about Social Therapy’s presence at the APA, and their seemingly transparent pretensions to science.
		She acknowledged that she had “been recently informed that complaints have been made about this presentation.” She asked if any “complainers” were in the audience, which may seem an odd question as there were a range of 12 to 16 people in the audience at various times in the presentation.

	Cult News.com: APA plans to provide platform for anti-Semitic "cult" at its annual convention
		Lois Holzman a prominent proponent of so-called "Social Therapy," which is closely associated with the "New Alliance Party," is a devoted follower of notorious "cult leader" Fred Newman.
		Holzman's behavior can easily be seen as an effort to act as a stand-in or proxy for her leader.
		However, Holzman's close and historic association with Newman is glaringly evident through her own website and the largely promotional links she provides for Newman enterprises elsewhere on the Internet.

		Edited by Dr. Newman's colleagues, Lois Holzman and Rafael Mendez, "Psychological Investigations" is a book of dialogues between Fred Newman and his students (mostly therapists-in-training).
		In Part I, editors Lois Holzman and Raphael Mendez answer this question by providing the reader with the social, political, and intellectual history of Newman's development as the founder and leader of the social therapy movement.
		In particular, I find Lois Holzman's writings to represent the most cutting edge, uncompromising and intellectually rigorous thinking in the developmental psychology literature.

		Fred Newman and Lois Holzman offer the alternative of "performed activity"--a non-academic way forward to develop and add meaning to our lives.
		In this book, philosopher-therapist Fred Newman and psychologist-teacher Lois Holzman propose that human development is a social and creative process of building environments which determine who we are and can become.
		For Newman and Holzman, loss of meaning opens the door for creating/discovering that we are the collective makers of meaning.

		Her least favorite part of the job is state testing, because she thinks kids are over-tested, at least in her area.
		One thing Holzman particularly likes is how Grossman treats all of her students with enormous respect, and she says the kids love that Grossman shares bits and pieces of her life with them.
		She remembers a time when her older son was in eighth grade and came home from school with a beautiful paper he had written.

	Childhood Education: Schools For Growth: Radical Alternatives to Current Educational Models
		Holzman, a developmental psychologist, contends that the curriculum-based and skills-oriented education systems currently in vogue in the United States do not meet the education needs of such a diverse population.
		She explores an innovative definition of developmental learning, and argues that learning is not simply the acquisition of knowledge, but rather is something that should result in students' active growth.
		In the last chapters of the book, Holzman provides a detailed description of three independent, alternative schools-two in the United States and one in Russia.

		This is their concern with most social constructionist writing: whether the knowing is generated in laboratories or in playground interaction, any attempt to carry it forward as Truth or "truth" results, they tell us, in problematic generalization.
		Their detailed answer is that we find, in the immediacy of our circumstances (not in commodified knowledge), what we have to perform, and accounting for that successful performance is not as important as doing it.
		Newman and Holzman's comment that we become who we are by being who we are not reminds me of the creative use of play used by family therapist, Peggy Papp.

		That same vigour was brought to the ensuing spat with the APA, a running commentary of which is colourfully, if a little defensively, recounted by in the opening chapter by Newman's close colleague and editor of the book, Lois Holzman.
		If you make it through this opening round, the scene is set for another full nine rounds of a most entertaining exposition of the thoughts behind "performance psychology", replete with scripts of some of Newman's plays.
		Amongst other things, he throws a few solid blows at the concept of self, pokes a left jab or two at the inhabitants of the science fortress and, more importantly, spells out his notion that we are as we do, more or less.

		This story ends in 1973, when Holzman left New York-based Elektra and it was merged with David Geffen's L.A.-based Asylum label, which would pioneer the laid-back Laurel Canyon hot-tub pop that would enchant fans (and confound critics) in the '70s.
		The structure of 'Follow the Music' is anecdotal; Holzman's comments join those from a chorus of players to weave a complex tale that takes in the Greenwich Village folk scene, the blues revival and rock music's emerging avant-garde.
		Or, as Holzman puts it when describing in an earlier chapter an epiphany he had with Rothchild: "We both shared a conviction that record making was, like the church, a calling rather than a career."
