The research articulates Psychoanalysis and Education, approaches the teacher-teenager student relationship and discusses its importance for an effective learning. As a central theme, the process of transference and counter-transference is highlighted into the psychoanalytic perspective. The study of transference has as theorical reference Freud s writings in the evolutive context of his work. As the concept of counter-transference has
been little explored by Freud, we resorted to some post-Freudian in order to base our study among them we highlight the contributions of Sandor Ferenczi, Paula Heimann, Pierre Fèdida and Luis Cláudio Figueiredo. The transference and counter-transference that con be observed in any interpersonal relationship, gains differentiated importance in the teacher-teenager student context. Based on the conviction that the management of transference and counter-transference in the teacher-teenager student relationship has a positive or negative impact on the learning process, we developed the current
qualitative- nature research, by watching and listening teachers and students about their experiences into the school context. The locus of the research was the school of
reference in High School Madeiros Francisco of Garanhuns (PE) in Magano neighborhood. As for reached results, according to the teacher s narratives, we found
facts indicating positive relationships, based on respect, admiration and friendship bonds. The greatest difficulties pointed by the teachers to establish a good relationship
with students were lack of respect, rebellion and aggression. As for teenagers students affectivity permeates their relationship with the teacher and builds positive bonds of admiration, but there also those ones who set apart from the teacher due to the way they are treated and the suspicion provoked by this treatment. Most students show a better performance in subjects with which they have a good relationship with the teacher. The research also intends to contribute to the school community , by promoting a new
understanding of factors that may contribute to a better efficiency of the learning process
