The epistemic changes and the debate in which we are taking part today are unequivocal signs of intellectual ferment. The uncertainty that characterises complex processes suggests a humble attitude towards the phenomena we wish to know and explain and the vis gnoseological that often possesses us as "researchers of truth" clashes with the need not to fall into reductionist drifts. In the psychoanalytic field, what has gone wrong is not only a metapsychological model, but also an idea of cure. The Boston Group has been reflecting on this for some decades, and Harrison's article continues along these lines. The task is arduous. It is a question of combining the specific psychoanalytic with the recent discoveries concerning the subsymbolic universe, working for an integration that avoids the repetition of divisions and annoying dualisms.
