Interviewees were randomly selected from four years of study from two Higher Education institutes and questioned about what they found enhanced their learning. A key theme to emerge was how their private lives impacted their learning experience and how personal development enabled by study equally affected private lives. Each year of study evidenced the emergence of several themes, both discouraging and encouraging the student’s ability to study. Findings showed a clear movement of subjects from intermental to intramental thinking as the student journeyed through the four years to the conclusion of the training course.", "keywords": [ "Intermental", "intramental", "psychodynamic", "private life", "encouraging", "discouraging" ], "first_page": 105, "last_page": 115, "pdf_start": 29, "pdf_end": 39, "references": [ { "ordinal": 1, "raw_text": "Birditt, K.
