The Author analyses Seligman's contribution dedicated to the complexity and uncertainty in the analytical process. In particular, he emphasizes the importance of managing the certainty of those hypercyclical recursivenesses, typically present in some areas of psychopathology, often in the early stages of a possible treatment. He also addresses Seligman's considerations about the negative effects of a rigid affiliation by the psychoanalyst to any theoretical corpus on the ability to remain analytically attentive. In this sense the adoption of a dialectical mental attitude is proposed, i.e. the maintenance of a permanently tense reflection between a "scientific" and an "artistic" conception of psychoanalysis. This would limit the risk of scientific or, on the contrary, wild drifts.
