    Dissociation : Vol. 3, No. 4, p. 188-194 : Education domains and andragogical approaches in teaching psychotherapists about MPD
    (Ridgeview Institute and the International Society for the Study of Multiple Personality and Dissociation, 1990-12) Kluft, Richard P., 1943-
    Didactic efforts in educating students and colleagues about multiple personality disorder (MPD) often begin with rather traditional attempts to convey a body of didactic knowledge, and assume that they prepare the student learner to begin his or her clinical work. In fact, although such approaches are traditional and reasonably effective, they are perforce limited. Educators divide the goals of education into three domains: cognitive, attitudinal, and instrumental. Also, adult learners tend to absorb material best when it is oriented toward problem-solving rather than the communication of information and abstract concepts. Therefore, teaching professional students and graduate therapists ideally should address the several domains and include a large portion of material presented with the several principles of adult learning born in mind. This presentation will begin with a review of approaches used to educate therapists about MPD, and then focus on techniques to bring about learning with regard to the condition and its treatment within an andragogical frame of reference.
