Foundations and Theory

COLLINS, GAY COLEMAN. "Anna Freud, an Educational Biography with
Implications for Teaching/' Ph.D. Claremont Graduate School, 1980] 643 pp.
(41, 9, 4003-4004-A) Anna Freud, psyctíoanalysT, has worfeed throughout a long
professional life to tailor psychoanalytic technique to meet the particular needs
of children. Chapter three of this dissertation discusses teaching from a psy-
choanalytic perspective, including teacher attributes, the historical perspective
of psychoanalysis and education, and the role of the teacher. Chapter four pre-
sents two teaching models that are congruent with the principles of psychoana-
lytic child psychology: the Bank Street Model and the British Infant School.
FLEMINGJ EDWARD JOSEPH. "The Epistemology of Jürgen Habermas: The
Implications for Adult Education/' Ed.D. Columbia University Teachers
College, 1980. 250 pp. (41,10, 4252-A) The purpose of this study is to examine
some selected topics in the writings of Jürgen Habermas and identify their im-
plications for a theory of adult learning. By postulating the existence of three
domains of learning corresponding to the domains of inquiry, three distinct but
interrelated kinds of adult learning are identified. Emancipatory learning,
achieved through the power of self-reflection, is presented as being most signif-
icant for adults. The study concludes by reinterpreting as educational some of
the roles associated with being a priest.
