Summary:

Learning is perhaps the most basic means by which we can change ourselves. Of all the activities of the mind, learning is perhaps the most fundamental, yet also one of the most provocative and difficult to conceive. This book contains ten new essays by an interdisciplinary array of educators, psychoanalysts and academics, who confront head-on the many problems associated with the mystery of learning.

Like all the preceding volumes in this series, ideas and opinions are presented from a contrasting variety of viewpoints within contemporary psychoanalytic theory. Individual chapters are devoted to the theories of learning implicit in the work of Freud, Jung, Klein, Bion, Winnicott, and Lacan. Other topics explored in this extremely comprehensive and thought-provoking collection include: how to teach 'psychoanalytically'; the relationship between learning difficulty and 'writer's block'; and the problems inherent in teaching psychoanalysis.
