“…However, this relationship has a much longer history that goes back at least to 1955. In that year, Der neue Mensch in der sowjetischen Psychologie (The New Man in Soviet Psychology), by the American psychologist Raymond A. Bauer (1916–1977), was published by the Christian-Verlag of Bad-Nauheim with a foreword by Jerome Bruner (1915–2016), one of Bauer’s academic teachers (Bauer, 1952/1955; see also Kölbl, 2021b).

This article understands the reception of Soviet psychology in the Federal Republic of Germany as a contribution to a transnational Soviet psychology that is closely linked to a "Western Communist culture," broadly understood, and further elaborates on this term, which is borrowed from Luciano Nicolás García. Critical Psychology (Kritische Psychologie) was developed at the Free University of Berlin starting in the late 1960s by the Marxist psychologist Klaus Holzkamp and others and represents a central focus of this form of appropriating the writings of Soviet psychologists. However, there has also been intense interest in Soviet psychology in West Germany beyond this Communist culture. This article reconstructs several different lines of reception to sketch a more complex picture of Soviet psychology in West Germany than that offered by previous one-sided narratives. In any case, reconstructive efforts in this field of investigation must take the historical situation of the Cold War era and its important influence on the discipline of psychology into account.
