Abstract: An interpretive research group based in existential phenomenology is used to facilitate student learning about skills central to nursing--communicating, listening, and a genuine understanding of "the other"--in an undergraduate psychiatric-mental health nursing course. Shattell and Hogan present a teaching strategy consistent with the Educative-Caring Model of nursing education in which student-faculty interactions are egalitarian and active learning is necessary.
