Willard Waller’s Sociology of Teaching Reconsidered
Willard Waller’s (1932/1976) classic account of what teaching does to teachers is examined through the lens of psychoanalytic theory in conjunction with Ovid’s myth of Narcissus. Parallel themes within the two texts are analyzed and interpreted as suggesting that narcissistic psychological processes played a part in distorting teachers’ personalities in the 1930s. Role expectations and tasks associated with being a teacher, it is suggested, reinf…
Clinical Supervision in a Standards-Based Environment
Current education reform stresses systemic change to achieve large-scale and long-term results. However, education in the United States has long been characterized by loose coupling, manifested in the relationship between administration and instruction, between universities and schools, and between preservice and in-service expectations. The result is an endemic inconsistency in achievement among different classrooms and schools, an inadequate pr…

Informational and Controlling Language in Simulated Supervisory Conferences
Two studies are reported that were designed to determine if teachers and supervisors discriminate among three different types of direct supervisory communication (information only, information with suggestions, and information with directives) in instructional improvement conferences. Thirty teachers in the first study and 133 supervisors in the second study were randomly assigned to three experimental groups according to the Latin Squares design…

Teaching and the Psychology of the Self
Relatively few attempts have been made to understand teaching and the teacher role from a psychoanalytic perspective. Work which has applied a psychoanalytic framework to teaching has generally portrayed the teaching act rather unfavorably as regressive, exhibitionistic, and dysfunctionally controlling. This earlier work also has not resulted in further conceptualization or research. This article presents a summary of Kohut's recent formulations …
