A microscopic model for the [ital N[bar N]][r arrow][pi][pi] process is presented in the meson exchange framework, which in the pseudophysical region agrees with available quasiempirical information. The scalar ([sigma]) and vector ([rho]) piece of correlated two-pion exchange in the pion-nucleon interaction is then derived via dispersion integrals over the unitarity cut. Inherent ambiguities in the method and implications for the description of pion-nucleon scattering data are discussed.
