Accompaniment: symmetry in asymmetries
This article presents an analysis of two accompaniment interviews of a trainer for adults and an elementary school principal and , led by a university teacher and an pedagogical advisor. This analysis makes it possible to question the nature of what is being done to help the accompanied person. Does service to others systematically imply a symmetrical relationship as described in the literature? During these two interviews, asymmetry is clearly present but operates in a self-comparison dimension rather than in a relational one.
