“…The term working through was first used by Freud (1978Freud ( /1914 when he sought to answer the question of why individual psychoanalysis takes a relatively long time: He argued that this is because the patient needs to work through his or her resistances. The concept has subsequently been subject to various interpretations (Aron, 1991;Brenner, 1987;Stewart, 1963). From a relational perspective, Aron (1991) provides the following definition that seems compatible with different psychological and therapeutic approaches, and is also transferable to the level of a group or organization:…”

Psychodynamic approaches to the study of organizations note the importance of organizational defense mechanisms, that is, processes and practices that protect the organization from painful realizations. The overuse of defense mechanisms may lead to the organization becoming detached from reality, dysfunctional, unable to learn, and resistant to change. This article develops the concept of therapeutic organizational double bind as a method of intervention to enable "working through" in organizations "stuck" in a specific type of defense mechanism, namely, a pathogenic organizational double bind. The case of the Greenpeace campaign against whaling in Norway serves as an example. This campaign was dysfunctional, yet Greenpeace, being caught in a pathogenic organizational double bind, was unable to change its behavior patterns for quite a long time. A therapeutic organizational double bind enabled Greenpeace to partially work through and remedy this. The article discusses implications for practice and advocates a systemic approach to organizational analysis. Keywordsdouble bind, therapeutic double bind, defense, resistance to change, paradoxical intervention, working through Psychodynamic approaches to the study of organizations form a long-standing research tradition and have produced a substantial body of literature (

“…Tenzer (1984) has pointed to Piaget's emphasis on the need for repetition in the acquisition of new cognitive structures, so that they may be integrated with others. Stewart (1963) pointed out that Freud's initial use of the term working through was in reference to id resistance, which he clearly distinguished from other kinds of resistance. Adhesiveness of libido and psychical inertia, as components of id resistance, were viewed by Freud as "independent factors," implying that they were not necessarily linked to dynamic conflicts and were at bottom constitutionally determined.…”

Insight, Working Through, and Practice: The Role of Procedural Knowledge

A conception of insight is proposed, based on a systems and information-processing framework and using current neuroscience concepts, as an integration of information that results in a new symbolization of experience with a significant change in self-image and a transformation of non-declarative procedural knowledge into declarative knowledge. Since procedural memory and knowledge, seen to include emotional and relationship issues, is slow to change, durable emotional and behavioral change often requires repeated practice, a need not explicitly addressed in standard psychoanalytic technique. Working through is thus seen as also encompassing nondynamic factors. The application of these ideas to therapeutic technique suggests possible therapeutic interventions beyond interpretation. An illustrative clinical vignette is presented.

“…Studies have shown that active learning leads to intellectual curiosity, teamwork, creativity, problem-solving, and thinking skills rather than memorization and indoctrination, which all benefit students' present and long-term progress (Budair, 2008;Hassan, & Al-Kinani, 2022). Since students commonly report feeling uncertain about their learning, many studies have emphasized active learning as a way to address this problem by making it possible for students to properly integrate new pieces of knowledge into their knowledge systems (actual learning) after each teaching activity and boosting their learning motivation (Haney, 2003;Stewart et al, 2004).…”

The present study aimed at investigating the degree of mathematics teachers’ use of active learning strategies (ALSs) in their teaching practices, and to identify the obstacles hindering their use of this strategy. A questionnaire was distributed to 241 mathematics teachers (of whom 27 were interviewed) working in public secondary schools in the city of Amman in Jordan. A descriptive approach was used to determine the extent to which the participant teachers use LESs in their teaching practices. The findings revealed that the participants used ALSs to a moderate degree. Moreover, there were no statistically significant differences in terms of gender, academic qualifications, and teaching experience. However, the participants reported impediments to the use of ALSs related to teacher, student, subject, curriculum, and school environment.
