Psychoanalysis and education: possibilities of interchange for the teachers' formation

Abstract

The dialogue between psychoanalysis and education is generally polemic and controversial. In its bibliographical approach one can mention the considerations on the action scope distinctions and the epistemological limitations. However, the questions proposed by education to psychoanalysis, as well as the challenges presented by educational questions to society keep the possibilities of interchange opened. We intend to emphasize the possibilities of interchange offered by the psychoanalytical knowledge for the teachers’ formation, stressing toward this intention the place of the relational dimension within educative actions and the potentiality of the subjects involved in the daily educational context.
