February 21, 2020 — Interrelationship between our psychoanalytic identity and experiences of teaching

[12 pages]

This week we want to consider one’s experience of teaching. Nearing the end of your didactics, you have gained an abundance of experience being taught as clinical associates. What makes for a good teaching experience? How has your experience of being taught impacted your desire to teach? How do you imagine yourself as a teacher?
