Psychoanalysis can help educators realize these aims of education by providing them with important insights into: 1. the emotional and cognitive capacities that are necessary for students to be able to learn, develop, and engage in prosocial behavior 2. the motivations that drive such learning, development, and behaviors, and 3. the motivations that produce antisocial behaviors as well as resistance to learning and development.

Such understanding can enable educators to develop pedagogical strategies and techniques to help students overcome psychological impediments to learning and development, either by identifying and removing the impediments or by helping students develop the ability to overcome them. Moreover, by offering an understanding of the motivations that cause some of our most severe social problems— including crime, violence, substance abuse, prejudice, and inequality—together with knowledge of how such motivations can be altered, books in this series will contribute to the reduction and prevention of such problems, a task that education is increasingly being called upon to assume.
