The Creative Self engages with the work of the psychoanalyst D.W.
Winnicott to develop alternative ways of thinking about key issues
at the heart of pedagogy; specifically pedagogic relationships,
creativity, defiance and compliance. These issues underpin the
desires and defences of professionals located in educational
institutions, such as the desire to know what is best, to know how
to reach all learners, normalised expectations of behaviours and
outcomes, and sometimes challenging engagements with students and
the curriculum. Each chapter provides both a theoretical focus and
illustrative demonstrations of the ways in which Winnicott's
theories may be relocated and used productively as tools for
professional and academic reflexivity. By building extensively on
Winnicott's understanding of the ways in which relationships
facilitate (or hinder) the development of the self, this book
extends his clinical focus on parental and analytical relationships
to think about the ways in which the pedagogic relationship can
provide an environment in which people may (or may fail to) develop
as learners. This approach provides powerful ways of thinking about
pedagogy and pedagogic relationships that stand apart from the
cognitive and rationalist tradition. This focus can be used
constructively to support people working in educational settings to
re-establish a sense of personal and professional autonomy in an
environment recently typified by compliance. The Creative Self is
an engaging and innovative read appealing to postgraduate students,
teachers, researchers and academics with a desire for a new
analytic lens through which to explore the educational experiences
of both learners and teachers in schools, colleges and
universities.
