Preventative Measures Against Misconceptions About Oneself

Abstract

Introduction:  It is argued that miconceptions about oneself and other people can be reduced through participation in philosophical dialogues.  Opportunities for such dialogues should be included in the educational programs of the health profession.  Youngsters have proven themselves able participants in similar dialogues.  If the reasoning skills of an individual are improved, it is assumed that his or her ideas and judgments will also improve.
