"What do Babies Know and Learn? Ask Otto Rank!" - with Dr. Daniel S. Janik MD PhD, Director of American University and Academic English Programs, Intercultural Communications College, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA; Adjunct Professor of English (Upper Iowa University, Fayette, Iowa); and Adjunct Professor of Psychology (Argosy University Honolulu, Hawaii). Author of A Neurobiological Theory and Method of Language Acquisition (Lincom Europa, 2004); Unlock the Genius Within: Neurobiological Trauma, Teaching and Transformational Learning (Rowman and Littlefield, 2005) and How to Choose the BEST English Language School in the USA (AuthorHouse, 2006).
Why is our primary learning pathway - traumatic learning - so ubiquitous? What is it about birth that is so traumatic that we generally experience up to two years of 'amnesia' following this natural event? Although we forget, does the birth experience follow us throughout our lives? Bring your copy of Otto Rank's book 'The Trauma of Birth,' your file of references from the literature and your own memories and experiences for a lively discussion on that singular event in our human lives and what it ultimately means.
