The author examines some of the themes proposed by Seligman through a theoretical excursus on the assumptions of systemic and complex thinking. The article includes some questions and provides brief insights into the concepts of uncertainty, subjectivity and dialogicality of the cognitive process, non-linearity, coevolution of living systems, perturbation and much more. All of this with a broad and non-preciprocal look at the clinical implications: transference, counter-transference, insaturity of interpretation, setting and creativity. Despite the title, the epistemological climate does not have to do with an exaltation of uncertainty and chaos but, as Morin says, it wants to convey the idea that "complexity does not reject clarity, order, determinism at all, but knows that they are insufficient".
