MORGADO, Maria Aparecida. Authority and seduction in the pedagogical relationship. Psicol. educ. [online]. 2011, n.32, pp.113-130. ISSN 1414-6975.

The unconscious psychic elements that structure the pedagogical relationship are presented to show that they can either favor or difficult the adequate exercise of the teacher's authority, when this structure is replaced by seduction. The unconscious emotional interchange of the relationship teacher-student brings a reciprocal reviviscence of affection of the past childhood even though the subjects involved don't notice it. The unconscious reviviscence of the past childhood is possible due to the identification, the transference and the counter-transference: these psychic operations are presented conceptually in psychoanalytical terms, to show how the process in which they articulate may result in seduction. When the unconscious reviviscence is very intense and exclusive, the seduction overlaps the authority disfiguring the teaching and the learning.

Keywords : authority; seduction; identification; transference; counter-transference.
