However, I wonder about the complications that arise when the instructor is also a survivor. Where she or he is on her or his own journey will impact the classroom exercise/discussion. Especially, if the topic gets brought up by a student when the instructor never intended to have this topic discussed in the class. Daphne >>> AWilder106@aol.com 09/26/00 18:04 PM >>> Daphne, It seems to me to be useful for the teacher to have a fairly clear idea of why they feel this topic should be brought up, and what to do with it when it is brought up. It can usefully become a topic of writing, for example, because in this way cognition--thinking--can be used to master and use the emotion. Many others have noted that it can be used as an entree into a discussion of what shelters are available, etc., and perhaps a fulcrum for group effort of a political nature. I mention these two areas because both are ways out of helplessness. Andrea
