			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At the end of a lecture series (<a href="/?s=lecture+series" target="_blank" title="Search this blog for lecture series">again</a>, and again on human ecology) students were asked for feedback about the lecture series as part of their exams. In order to get a certificate, students have to hand in a written statement including critical feedback about the lecture series.</p>

Though, some might want to keep in mind that double binds have also long been discussed in the context of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_bind" target="_blank" title="Wikipedia on Double bind and Gregory Bateson">schizophrenia</a>. As much as they are versatile means of breaking one&#8217;s personality and self-esteem they are essential not only to modern <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20051217014713/http://www.fortda.org/Spring_99/Ethics.html" target="_blank" title="Beatrice M. Patsalides: Ethics of the Unspeakable">techniques of torture</a>.</p>
<p>On no side&#8217;s side:<br />
