living organism, aiming at its survival. As the psychic and the corporeal dimensions are not separated one from the other, and the body is the manifestation of a system of structuring relationships organized on different levels according to a precise logic that is identical for all living being (from amoeba to humans), the “bio-transactional pathophysiology” approach claims that a living being is essentially a structured collection of messages, representing a flowing communication in a closed circuit. For example, following the FBT theory, a bone represents the continuous and persistent signal between two joints: calcium will be metabolised in the places where the signal is manifesting consistently, meaning that it is not the bone that supports the system, but the system that supports the bone. The Bio-transactional
Therapy was developed as the clinical application of the theory of Bio-transactional Pathophysiology.

After working as lecturer of Clinical Methodology at Ceift from 1976 to 1991, Brunelli reduced his academic commitments in order to devote himself to the training of physicians and psychotherapists in “Bio-transactional“ Pathophysiology. He founded the SISNI (International Society of Integral “Somato-noology”) in 1994, to dedicate his time and knowledge practicing in research, applying his theory on clinical cases, teaching and supervising until his death in 2004.

with ‘systems and complexity’, sprung from the need to have a useful tool to describe the organization of living beings, and, more in detail, to explain the stability of specific dynamic configurations, characterized by a continuous transformation of features, with particular attention on how some of them are repeated and persist over time. Brunelli took advantage of the logical tools offered by The
Principia Mathematica by

It dawned on me as obvious, then and possibly even more obvious today, that a living being has no intelligence, but rather it is intelligence and that intelligence is not depending on the existence of a nervous system, but on the contrary, the nervous system is a product of the intelligence."
