In this study we aim at presenting an educator's view of the relations between Psychology (as science and profession) and Education, based on the fifty years she has spent acting throughout several segments of education. The educator has discussed these relations with her Work Group (“GT” - Work Group) Psychology of Education, at 22ª Reunião Anual da Associação Nacional de Pesquisa e Pós-Graduação em Educação (“Anped” - 22nd Annual Meeting of the Association of National Research and Graduate School of Education), in 1999. At that meeting, GT discussed the Psychology's Contribution to Education in the past thirty years, presenting contributions from Rogers, Skinner, Freud, Piaget, Vigotsky e Wallon. This work relates the meeting of the educator with several theoretical approaches, prioritizing the presentation of educational implications of Wallon's Psychogenetic. Finally we expose the dialectic relation between Psychology and Education, which nurture each other mutually, offering, one another, elements to better understand the educational phenomenon and the human being.
