Abstract
This thesis argues for greater recognition of the rôle that psychodynamic and relational material plays in teaching, schools and classrooms, and introduces the idea of ‘psychodynamic incidents in teaching and learning’. Emerging out of years of classroom practice in secondary schools and in higher education, the research explores the boundary between teaching and psychotherapeutic clinical processes: to achieve this, the author draws on biographical material, his teaching experiences and experiential learning in psychoanalytic contexts, including the pre-clinical elements of a Jungian training in psychodynamic psychotherapy. The thesis makes use of co-authorship and autoethnography to provide a methodological framework within which a range of data (including autobiographical reflections on psychodynamic material and one piece of co- authored narrative) can be brought together as part of a coherent argument. The thesis presents data showing how clinical psychodynamic phenomena (resistance, defence against anxiety, conflict, object-relations, containment, attachment, transference/counter-transference, the therapeutic alliance, fantasy, and the impact of the unconscious itself) function as profound and significant forces in teaching which – though often denied or disavowed by practitioners – need to be recognised.
