The contributions of the famous biologist Humberto Maturana to different disciplines, from philosophy, linguistics, cognitive sciences, sociology, psychology, among others, have allowed the development of science in general. Mental health and psychotherapy have not been immune to this influence.

A qualitative theoretical analysis is carried out. Humberto Maturana’s epistemology has been found to have influenced mental health and psychotherapy. The ontology of the observer, objectivity in parentheses and cognitive biology leave their mark on a new form of therapeutic relationship and conceptualization of the symptom.
