ABSTRACT
This chapter is written by all the authors, and clarifies many aspects of our ideas. It talks about how change happens, what meaning we need to give to symptoms and how the requests that arrive to us need to be redefined in order not to remain within the same logic that has created the problem. It talks mainly about the ethical and aesthetical attitude, two concepts highly imbricated, each sending to the other to enrich its meaning. The core of the therapeutic work. Ethics is not moral nor juridical, it does not respond to abstract and transcendent “values” imposed by authorities from outside; it has to do with the posture, the words spoken, the attitude of respect and the positioning. Aesthetics has to do with the style the clinician chooses to put forward. Our main emphasis is on respect and on the admiration of the beauty of life.
