This paper is an attempt to articulate the dialectical mode of interpretation to the phenomena that I have to deal with on daily basis as a couple therapist. It started as a curiosity to consider whether the problems of the couple can be explained by the neurosis of each member and/or by psychic factors, as if only the symptoms of each person can make them intelligible. This question lead me to ask if the couple's pressing problems can be addressed as the workings of an internal logic of the soul opus and its particular articulation in our present time.
