Nice point! Honestly the FOI is a joke, but not for the reason most think. Most think that nothing in there is applicable and once you get to CFI'ing, you never really use it. I think its a joke because everything is useful, but there's not nearly enough, especially in the psychological areas. Teachers are taught how to work with students of different types, but we get barely a paragraph on behavioral learning. It really needs to be expanded.

Also Pearl, keep in mind that we are not saying that it is the case that you are using these particular defense mechanisms, just that its something to be aware of.
