Reviews

"Bringing analytic complexity to the subject of doubt, [Britzman] offers interesting commentary on the university, early education, candidate learning." - CHOICE "Britzman accomplishes something quite remarkable: with great dexterity, she uses education to find themes that span diagonally across what were once thought as disparate schools of psychoanalytic thought." - Teachers College Record
