title: Theoretical considerations on the rehabilitation process.
abstract: In the present work some of the theoretical aspects which qualifies the rehabilitation process are pointed out. The context of rehabilitation should include the social network. The isomorphism between the rehabilitation process and the Batesonian concept of mind like "the pattern which connects" is as well emphasized. In this sense the rehabilitation (as the Batesonian mind) is a process imminent in the various contexts the patients deal with and elaborates the differences between these contexts. According to this view it is useful to refer to the Second Cybernetic epistemological model: the structural coupling between therapeutic system, family and social network is the goal of rehabilitation.
