[Hesnard, educator]

The vast majority of analysts maintain considerable distance between themselves and their patients. Above all, they do not allow themselves to be educators, with the exception of didacticians who voluntarily assume this role. But they are deluding themselves in believing that they can escape the educational role, when their entire effort has the objective of making their patients masters of their drives. Neither Freud nor A. Hesnard committed such an error. Both of them assumed their role as educators.
