Abstract
In discussion of four symposium papers in "dialectical social psychology", a specifically dialectical approach is distinguished from a more general Marxist approach. The dialectical emphasis on self-transforming interactive process is seen as highly appropriate to social psychology. To the extent that such a program is carried out, the "contradiction" between social psychology as science and social psychology as history is resolved to recognize that social psychology must be developmental and historical if it is to be adequately scientific.Keywords
