This article applies Maturana’s theory of ‘bringing forth’ reality to the clinical domain. Many common features of therapy are redefined including the notions of ‘psychopathology’, languaging and conversations, the family, and cognition. New concepts are introduced, notably those of the multiversa and the placing of objectivity in parenthesis. The rôle of the socially sanctioned specialist (expert) is examined and criticised for pretending to have a privileged access to an objectively existing reality. The authors propose a radical change in epistemology, premised upon the changes in understanding which they propose in relation to the ontology of the phenomenon of cognition. Particular attention is given to the orthogonality of the therapist’s approach to interacting with families.
Spanish translation “La constitución de lo patológico: Ensayo para ser leído en voz alta por dos” in Maturana H. R. (1993) Desde la biología a la psicología. Editing and prologue by Jorge Luzoro: 147–182. This paper is apparently derived from an earlier unpublished Spanish text entitled “Cómo se engendra la patología: Ensayo para ser leído en voz alta entre dos.” This text is documented as a “file” or “unpublished paper” distributed among members of the Sociedad Argentina de Terapia Familia (SATF), which has made it available online at http://www.terapiafamiliar.org.ar/archivos/Maturana – C%F3mo se engendra la patolog%EDa.pdf The SATF version may not be the earliest version. It apparently dates to circa 1987, whereas multiple authors have attributed dates as early as 1980 to the title. This unpublished text noticeably differs from the subsequent English and Spanish publications.
