The relationship between of psychotherapy and education is full of tension. Both have similar patterns of action. If one wants to define their relationship, the Telos of the respective practice has to be determined. Pedagogy has to be concerned with human formation in all its forms of action, and can only be executed by each individual him/herself; it is therefore above the principle of dialogue. This not only applies to tuition which is linked to personal insight, but also to education, which is tied to self-determination.
