Il Contenimento - Una teoria delle invarianti funzionali nei sistemi umani

Over time, the disciplines concerned with the study of human systems have developed numerous theoretical perspectives to understand processes of development, organization, transformation, and crisis. This work proposes an additional interpretative perspective, based on the hypothesis that the phenomenon of containment constitutes a functional lens through which it is possible to identify recurring mechanisms by which human systems construct, maintain, reorganize, or compromise their own evolutionary continuity.

The theory is not intended to replace existing psychological, psychoanalytic, psychosocioanalytic, systemic, or organizational models, nor does it seek to explain the psychological, biological, or social mechanisms underlying the observed phenomena. Rather, it offers a functional interpretative framework through which phenomena arising in different contexts may be reconsidered, with the aim of identifying possible functional invariants in the processes of organization and transformation of human systems.

While rooted in the psychosocioanalytic tradition and sharing its attention to relational and organizational processes, the theory proposes an autonomous perspective intended to foster dialogue with contributions from different disciplines, without overlapping with or replacing them.

Should this perspective prove to be useful, it may provide a conceptual framework for further theoretical and methodological developments and serve as a possible foundation for interpretative and applied models devoted to the analysis of human systems across the different contexts in which they operate.
