Abstract

Maturana's pioneering contributions are acknowledged worldwide as they profoundly influenced and advanced contemporary epistemological thinking. This presentation aims to highlight how all of us Greek systemic therapists connect and resonate with him. The integrative perspective that provides coherent meaning to contemporary life's plurality and fluidity, the importance of language and the centrality of human interaction are some of the common themes that underlie our affinity between Maturana and us and his deep connection to psychotherapy.

Metalogos' Comment: We thank Charis Kataki and Mariangela Tsarbopoulou (LABORATORY OF THE STUDY OF HUMAN RELATIONS) warmly for the immediate response to Metalogos' invitation and the creation of such an interesting video.
