Synopsis

For more than 25 years, the author has applied a knowledge of Human Dynamics theory in her work with educators and students. This theory provides an understanding of individual differences based on the interplay of emotional, physical, and mental processes. Something that, in turn, can increase acceptance and understanding of each other in terms of communication, learning, and collaboration. This book is a follow-on to the book “Every Child has Specific Needs” (2001), in which the author described the successful application of Human Dynamics theory in schools in Sweden. In this book, translated from the Swedish edition published in 2015, Berit Bergström presents interviews with the children, now adults, that she wrote about in her first book. We are told in practical terms, and with many examples, how we think, feel, and act, both as individuals and in public contexts. It is a knowledge that, among other things, gives educators an opportunity to better understand and assess their students' knowledge and to be a support in their development.
