Considering Haydée Faimberg′s case from a Kleinian angle, I see the core issue to lie in Mario's devaluation of his internal world, represented by the external reality of his family as well as by currency devaluation and his attempt to repair it. At first, devaluation and reparation are held together in manic reparation, which is omnipotent and magical. Following a key period in the analytic encounter, he moves into a more reparative mode, which includes sorting out the significance of his transference figures.
