AVRAHAM COHEN

PhD Student

I am currently a PhD candidate working on my dissertation, which has the working title of Learning Life: The Human Dimension in Education. I am interested in how the human is not addressed in educational environments and how it can be. I am also interested in the inner experience of the educator and how this dimension of the educator's experience is interactively connected with the outer world. As well, I am a counsellor in private practice, teach at Vancouver Community College, and City University. I do occasional organizational consulting. I am the peer advisor in the Centre; a position that I greatly enjoy.

I have succeeded in having a number of papers published in the last couple of years, including, A Process-Oriented Approach to Training in Groups, Working with a Personal Dream-Alone, and Dissociative Identity Disorder: Perspectives and Alternatives. I have also presented at a number of conferences and will be presenting at AERA and CSSE in 2005.
