Abstract
[Autom. eng. transl.] The question of the right and good distance, the one that allows us to be close to and for the other, to help him without mortifying him, re-lifting him, without making him feel inferior, without reducing him to an object for our satisfaction, without showing us his useless, annoying and cumbersome presence that we must free ourselves from as soon as possible and in any way, not necessarily the best, unfolds between two excesses: the minimum and the maximum distance. The minimum distance is the affective fusional one, in which the other is reduced or brought back to us, brought back into the orbit of the self, made to shine only with reflected light, that emanating from the self.
