For Whom is the Teacher and for What is the Teaching? An Educational Reframe of the Parent Ego State

Pages 322-334 | Published online: 15 Oct 2018
 

Abstract

The author revisits one of his previous articles, which presented an inverted conceptualization of the ego state model, and considers that model with a new, specific focus on implications for teachers and educational practice. In doing so, he addresses related themes, including the concepts of grown-up-ness and eldership. The author suggests that although emancipation has been a recurring theme in educational discourse, an alternative perspective, and experience of freedom, is possible in the context of a reframed Parent ego state position. The paper presents case material to illustrate what is primarily an existential account of educational purpose.
