Britzman writes about the pedagogical value of psychoanalysis. Britzman highlights her own experience with psychoanalysis in educational settings, and uses her own personal anecdote in three acts. What underlying roles take place between student and teacher? “Kristeva’s (2010) view is that psychoanalysis – and I would add education – is a treatment for thought and desire. Both are word clinics, places to make up the mind.” (129). With this proposition in mind, how can one use Britzman’s comparison of education with psychoanalysis in their pedagogical practice? What is the value of using psychoanalysis as a tool for developing student-friendly pedagogy? Subsequently, what role do educators play ?
