A Psychodynamic Approach to Education
by Alex Coren
Is the education system killing off young people's desire to learn? Does it damage their emotional development? What effects do examinations and tests have on them? Are we asking the impossible by making academic performance in the difficult adolescent years so important? Education is increasingly answering the needs of the marketplace, and as a result young people's experience of education has less to do with curiosity and more to do with compliance. Alex Coren uses the insights of psychoanalysis to take a searching look at our education system and the effects it has on young people.
Alex Coren is the Deputy Head of Counselling at Oxford University. He is a psychoanalytic psychotherapist, and a member of the British Association of Psychotherapists.
