The author uses a light but still valid and substantial "inventory" to recount clinical vignettes, moments of sessions with patients, clinical experiences taken from his own work reality. The flow of clinical happenings well illustrates how much the person of the therapist is always present and how it is his personal originality which unblocks certain clinical situations, even those which are apparently "unsolvable. The author concludes his article with some considerations on the ethical references for the technique he uses.
