Abstract: The paper deals with the problem of determination of development of V. M. Bekhterev’s reflexology. The author conducted a content-analysis of 20 historical and psychological sources published in 1927–2007 including the writings of V. M. Bekhterev’s students and contemporaries, his scientific autobiography, his granddaughter’s memoirs, history and psychology papers, introductions and opening letters to V. M. Bekhterev’s papers. The analysis revealed that the authors paid special attention to a personality aspect of determination, namely to V. M. Bekhterev’s personality traits concerned with research activities (scope of academic interests, forward thinking, pioneering work, etc.), and to the abilities enabling the scholar to establish a number of research, educational, and practical centers and groups and arrange their work (enthusiastic and inspirational vigor, authority, pedagogical abilities, and charisma).
