Abstract

The primary purpose of the instructor in any college should be basically to teach the material of his specific course in a way meaningful to the student. Many textbooks have been written, and courses given, to aid the instructor in accomplishing this main objective. However, it is my personal opinion, now founded on four years of advance college training of many subjects, that the techniques learned in group psychotherapy training are of an invaluable assistance to an instructor; for the techniques lead not only to conveying the material at hand in a dynamic way to a majority of the students but, also, to having many of the students relate the subject matter meaningfully, with insight and wisdom, to their own lives-to the betterment of their own personal and interpersonal relationships, without the disadvantage of an overly intensified introspection or unnecessarily preoccupied self-concentration.
