ABSTRACT

How can we see our clients—both in the proper, perceptual meaning of the word, and in its figurative one? Another apparently innocuous question, which can, however, have interesting answers. For we can only see things and persons from our own point of view. Our view is always situated. This is also, probably, what Maturana means when he states that "everything that is said, is said by an observer" (Maturana & Varela, 1980): anything I can say, I say from my own point of view.
