The foundations of holistic education -- The organic dimension -- The psychodynamic dimension -- The affiliative dimension -- The procedural dimension -- The existential dimension -- The humane teacher.

This book begins with the assumption that education is at its best, healthiest, most engaging, and most effective, when it is holistic. By holistic , the authors mean that the various dimensions of the teacher and student are honored and nurtured throughout the education process. These dimensions are organic, psychodynamic, cultural, academic, and existential. The book contends that any truly humane educational theory or practice must celebrate and cultivate these facets of the student-teacher relationship. In readily-accessible theoretical terms, as well as in practical suggestions for classroom application, the authors demonstrate how holistic education is an antidote to the standardized approaches to education that breed failure, alienation, and discouragement in the classroom. Systematically broken down into five thematic chapters, this teacher's guide will help any educator foster the five dimensions of teaching and learning.
