title: [The educational relationship in the framework of patient education].
abstract: In the current healthcare system, the rationalisation of resources is giving rise to prescriptive, even ideological, views, notably with regard to patient therapeutic education. The educational relationship must enable the patient to become a self-acting regulator of his or her health. A reflection combining a philosophically-inspired humanist theory of nursing and a scientific-based social-cognitive theory provides a different understanding of the notion of learning.
