The Organic Curriculum: A Clinical Approach to Educational Therapy

Establishing a working relationship with our students is one of the most important features of educational therapy. Within that learning alliance, an essential ingredient is trust. In Dorothy Ungerleider’s most recent book Educational Therapy in Action: Behind and Beyond the Office Door, Ungerleider provides readers with a first-hand account of that essential component needed to engage students.  She describes how the initial intake with a student is the first opportunity to establish trust and facilitate a collaborative, organic experience. She conveys this by illustrating an intricate and richly drawn relationship with her student Nora.
