*Education Systems Around the World*

German, the term *Empathie* exists as well.

*suggested by the interlocutor, taking into account deliberately some future developments, in order to give it back in a way that can be solved better by the same interlocutor*.

It is therefore suggested to use the original term *Einfühlung*, which may indicate a design, a technique that one can learn and that is taught and that evokes a different theoretical and professional context (as the same *Einsicht* instead of *Insight*). In

The use of *Einfühlung*, the absence of any kind of clinical detachment, makes on the one hand the Professional Pedagogist's intervention important, *the sense of limit*. In this context, some supportive relationships that last months or years, with weekly meetings or even more frequently, as it happens in psychotherapy, or in certain medical or social

relations, in sport training, in musical or art teaching, are not to be forecasted.

This, among other things, due to the deepest sense of *human limitation* characterizes this one as many other educational relationships. Human limitation perceived on the one hand in terms of *perfectibility* as the other side of *imperfection* belonging to the same coin, which is mankind, and on the other hand, in its nomothetical and regulatory aspects, that is, the ethics of looking for that "*better*," which

The Professional Pedagogist's helping relationship has fairly strict limitations, also for some wear and tear of human resources: approximately, we could talk of a few weeks, or even long-term relationships however made of short and dense interviews and breaks, filled with letters or phone calls or short messages, remembering

As it grows and develops, this dialogic relation is meant to be followed by other dialogs, or rather by the next development of that same dialog in other places and with other interlocutors. Even before the supportive relationship begins before meeting the other person, the pedagogist knows very well that the dialog she/ he has to establish will be followed by other interventions, he/she sets how and when, of course, but this basic feature must be clear to her/him and without any

One is the observed need to continue the conversation with some other professional or expert: a psychologist, a doctor, a social worker, a lawyer, a sociologist, a therapist, or any other. It is an ethical principle, therefore, on the part of the Professional Pedagogist, not only to ensure an effective *redirection* that is a plain dimension, which happens at a fixed time but also to supply any help to this (as in the already mentioned so-called *support to therapy*, for example). This is what we

The other choice, hopefully, more frequent, consists in propitiating the continuation of the dialogic relation in the context where the problematic situations arose or with people who started the controversies, or with persons that may be involved positively in them. If the dialogue at first, before the professional performance of the Pedagogist, was poor, in the couple, or at work, or in family, or in any human fellowship, it will start again with new and more effective vitality and openness.

Anyone can be redirected especially in any site of human relationship, which
