There has been a recent change in education. Teachers face behavioral challenges inthe classroom that continue to increase. Students no longer show respect for teachers simply because they are the authority in the classroom. The need for change is evident. But the answer to what needs to change was fist articulated in the late eighteen hundreds through the work of Friedrich Nietzsche. Nietzsche is one of the first thinkers to articulate the effect that civilization had on man’s psyche and speaks to the internalization of his instincts. Further thinkers such as Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung add to the understanding around what is named the unconscious and help readers to understand its importance. The missing link in education then is the failure to recognize and respond appropriately to this aspect of students so that they become whole in themselves and develop into true individuals.
