From 'isolated mind' to the 'flight of the starlings'.

Through a sort of 'journey in time', this work aims to present a brief update on the latest developments on the subject of 'care of the subject' in psychoanalysis. In particular, the emphasis is placed on the therapeutic vision that characterized the early days of this discipline, which was essentially oriented in a single direction from the therapist to the patient, and on its shift to the current dominant perspective, which is different in that it is instead based on the concept of 'mutuality'. In this more recent view, the changes in the psychic structure of the patient over time derive from the changes that the patient has, mostly unknowingly, produced over time in the psychic structure of the therapist who has taken care of and is taking care of him/her. All this occurs on the basis of concepts and models that have only entered the sphere of interest of psychoanalysis in recent decades, for example, the 'Theory of Chaos' and the various systemic theories that have developed from Ludwig von Bertalanffy's 'General system Theory' to the most recent models of interpretation of 'complex nonlinear dynamical systems'.
