The Legacy of Alexander Luria: Neuropsychology as a Humane Science
暫譯: 亞歷山大·盧里亞的遺產：神經心理學作為人文科學

The author, Bella Kotik-Friedgut is one of the last doctoral students of Luria. As one of Luria's direct disciples and a close collaborator during his later years, Kotik-Friedgut has devoted her career to expanding and applying his theories in cross-cultural neuropsychology. Born in the Soviet Union and educated at Moscow State University under Luria's direct mentorship, Bella worked at Rostov State University until in 1992 immigrated to Israel where she became a professor at David Yellin Academic College of Education in Jerusalem. This unique cross-cultural perspective has enabled her to extend Luria's theories into new domains, particularly examining how cultural factors shape neuropsychological processes and influence new language learning and developing of bilingualism. Beyond her research, Kotik-Friedgut has played an invaluable role in preserving and disseminating Luria's intellectual heritage. Through her translations, commentaries, and personal reflections, she offers unique insights into both Luria's scientific methodology and his humanistic approach to patients. This book is a tribute to the visionary who profoundly shaped neuropsychology and to the lesser-known dimensions of his personality, passions, and life. It provides one of the most intimate portraits available of Luria as both scientist and mentor.

作者貝拉·科提克-弗里德古特（Bella Kotik-Friedgut）是盧里亞（Luria）最後的博士生之一。作為盧里亞的直接弟子及其晚年密切合作的夥伴，科提克-弗里德古特致力於擴展和應用他的理論於跨文化神經心理學。她出生於蘇聯，並在莫斯科國立大學接受盧里亞的直接指導，之後在羅斯托夫國立大學工作，直到1992年移民至以色列，並成為耶路撒冷大衛·耶林教育學院的教授。這種獨特的跨文化視角使她能夠將盧里亞的理論延伸到新的領域，特別是研究文化因素如何塑造神經心理過程以及影響新語言學習和雙語能力的發展。除了她的研究，科提克-弗里德古特在保護和傳播盧里亞的知識遺產方面也發揮了無價的作用。通過她的翻譯、評論和個人反思，她提供了對盧里亞的科學方法論和人文主義患者關懷的獨特見解。本書是對這位深刻影響神經心理學的先知的致敬，並揭示了他個性、熱情和生活中不為人知的面向。它提供了盧里亞作為科學家和導師的最親密肖像之一。
