The article by Elizabeth Allison & Peter Fonagy "When is truth relevant?", originally published in The Psychoanalytic Quarterly (2016, 85, 2: 275-303) and translated into Italian in the previous pages of this issue of Psicoterapia e Scienze Umane (2020, 54, 1: 17-44), is discussed. In particular, some critical reflections are made on the following issues: epistemic trust and social learning; forced choice between skeptical realism and belief in a truth to be found; the complex consequences of learning the truth about oneself; disorders of mental representation versus disorders of mental process; transference as a means to historical truth; moments of meeting as moments of truth; distinction between mentalizing and reflective function; observational learning and imitation; epistemic trust and truth; trust in the therapeutic situation.
Keywords: Epistemic trust; Truth; Social learning; Mentalization and reflective function; Psychotherapy
