Psychoanalysis and Education: Minding a Gap

This title explores the current educational system from a psychodynamic perspective. The papers collected here cover a broad range of topics, from papers on the results of research with art students with a history of mental health problems, using the techniques of Donald Winnicott with adults; self-respect, self-confidence and self-esteem: psychoanalytic and philosophical implications for higher education; learning through ourselves: the supervision group as a training tool; to the research findings of a primary school teacher working with a little girl in her class. This book will be found to be a valuable and topical contribution to understanding the role psychoanalysis in education today.
