The effect of changes in the modern family on young men and women attending college is examined in the context of higher education. A discussion is offered of the meaning of psychological regression and narcissism, the needs young people bring to college, and how these needs may or may not be met by traditional programs. Among the points raised in the essay are the tension between faculty and students and the persisting sentiment among some faculty that the personal issues raised by students in their classes do not constitute legitimate academic fare. Throughout the discussion emphasis is placed on the importance of colleges and universities establishing humane programs. Additional informationNotes on contributorsCraig R. EisendrathCraig R.
