Psychoandragogy: Applying Insights from the Depth Psychology of Carl Jung to Adult Learning.
Rock, Michael E.
The issue of relationship is important personally and organizationally. Individuals find themselves, discover who they are, existentially and psychologically speaking, in the living of their relationships. The question is then what adult education experience is available--solid in theory and in practice--to teach the art and science of the "90 percent factor"--90 percent because that proportion of the problems in organizations are relationship issues. Psychoandragogy is one way to begin addressing and answering this question and the corresponding urgent learning need for exposure to and learning about one's inner world as the major connecting link to a valued human journey. Adult educators should not ignore the reality, the influence, and the significance of "psyche" (soul) on"educatio" (learning). Adult educators need to be trained and qualified for this linkage of psyche and education, for psychoandragogy. Three key dynamics of the human journey lend themselves well to psychoandragogy: re-evaluation of the feminine, listening and emotional education, and potential and shadow (Jung's name for the flip side of one's conscious self-image). Management by insight (MBI) is one way to develop personal and interpersonal awareness in managers. (YLB)
