The author, starting from his critique of the individualistic discourse in the ethics of traditional psychoanalysis, shows as he goes along the importance that psychoanalysis be always more understood as a social psychology in order to avoid drifting towards a reductive and fractional conception of man. With referral to the fundamental principles of complexity theory, he describes what he means by the word Person through a continual weaving of psychoanalytic, philosophical and existential dimensions. According to the author, only by understanding the individual as a Person can we arrive at a therapeutic (but also existential) prospective which instead of being mutilating can generate relations capable of reciprocity
