Play is the thing: A new approach to learning and development at any age
Dr. Holzman has helped discover the secret to learning and development, and
she¹s giving it away: ³to pretend, to improvise, to play are the keys to our
emotional, social and intellectual growth and well-being².  If you are
interested in education and psychology, your own and others, you won¹t want
to miss this opportunity, come to ³Play is the Thing².
 
Lois Holzman is the director and co-founder of the East Side Institute for
Group and Short Term Psychotherapy.  She has made the writings of Lev
Vygotsky relevant to the fields of psychotherapy, education and
organizational and community development. She is internationally known for
her pioneering work in exploring the human capacity to perform and its
fundamentality in learning how to learn. Dr. Holzman has written and edited
ten books and over sixty articles on human development and learning,
psychology, education and social therapy; among them: Schools for Growth:
Radical Alternatives to Current Educational Models; Lev Vygotsky:
Revolutionary Scientist (with Fred Newman); Psychological Investigations: A
Clinician¹s Guide to Social Therapy (with Rafael Mendez), and most recently
Vygotsky at Work and Play.
