In a recent paper Ryle introduced the idea of integrating object relations theory and activity theory, a conceptual tradition originated by Vygotsky and developed by a number of Soviet psychologists during the previous decades. A specific aspect of this integrative perspective will be examined, implied in Ryle's paper but not elaborated by him. It is the issue of sign mediation which was Vygotsky's primary contribution to the methodological problems of modern psychology. The aim is to show that object relations theory, especially the work of Winnicott, may bring fresh understanding into Vygotsky's early notions. It is further claimed that, by introducing the contribution of Mikhail Bakhtin and his circle to the notion of sign mediation, the profundity in Winnicott's understanding of the transitional object and of the potential space may be more fully appreciated. At the same time the ideas of Winnicott and Bakhtin will jointly clarify the limitations in Vygotsky's sign conception.
在最近的一篇论文中，赖尔提出了将客体关系理论与活动理论相结合的想法，活动理论是一种由维果茨基开创，并在前几十年由一些苏联心理学家发展起来的概念传统。本文将探讨这种整合视角的一个特定方面，它在赖尔的论文中有所暗示，但他并未详细阐述。这就是符号中介问题，它是维果茨基对现代心理学方法论问题的主要贡献。目的是表明客体关系理论，尤其是温尼科特的著作，可能会为维果茨基的早期观念带来新的理解。进一步声称，通过引入米哈伊尔·巴赫金及其圈子对符号中介概念的贡献，可以更充分地理解温尼科特对过渡性客体和潜在空间的深刻理解。同时，温尼科特和巴赫金的思想将共同阐明维果茨基符号概念的局限性。
