2017
Abstract The professional standards for teachers provide the competences needed for this occupation, in function of the level of education and of the career stages.

2016
In this article we wish to discuss different normative dilemmas that teachers and psychotherapists meet in their work with the student and the patient. We argue that crucial for a good practice is not the actual choice between normativity and freedom, between generalized or authorized standards and individual dialogue.

By illustrating psychotherapeutic malpractice and systematic mistreatment of c…
