The Author, within the theory of complex systems and the science of complexity, criticizes the disjunctive positions, based on the formula "o, o" and proposes a mental arrangement of the "e, e" type, marked by non-duality. Moreover, the therapeutic situation and the events that occur within it are considered a macrosystem, in which the responses that each partner produces, i.e. the behaviour of each sub-system, is a function of a reorganisation and an adaptation to the stimuli sent by the other sub-system. Finally, making explicit the differences between simple systems (SS) and complex systems (SC) leads to conceive the therapeutic process as a gradual return of the patient from SS to SC.
