N2 - The mind/body dualism, although scarcely relevant in clinical practice,
remains unsolved theoretically. The pragmatic wisdom of the founders of
family therapy, which implied that bodies and minds in therapy were one,
has been easily forgotten. Such a situation had practical results, leading to
naive solutions, both on the materialistic and idealistic sides, represented
by biological psychiatry on the one side, and by most postmodern
therapies on the other. This article proposes to consider the role of
emotions in therapeutic dialogue to solve this dilemma within the field of
systemic therapy
