Season 2 Episode 1: In which Joe and I talk about a compulsive cheater in a Spanish class

In this first episode of the second season of Teaching through Emotions, my co-host Joe and I tell a story about a cheater in a class taught by someone who can’t stand cheating. Our psychodynamic take on the story might surprise you.

We discuss:

  • The Need to Cheat: The outrageous lengths one student went to in order to cheat.

  • Dealing with Disgust: Validating the infuriating feelings that come with being manipulated.

  • Motivations: A psychodynamic look at what is hiding beneath the student’s behavior.

  • It Takes Two to Tango: Understanding the teacher’s unconscious contributions to the dynamic and how to shift them without taking on unnecessary guilt.
