His model of the mind is vividly evoked through his own presentation of himself and his manner of noting and observing internal conflicts. His example constitutes a unique resource in the process of self-analysis, something which is illustrated here by the experiential responses of four contributing psychoanalysts: Vera R. F. Montagna, Vivienne Pasieka, Anne Lise di Moisè S.
