Using personal experience of mourning and its resolution, the author addresses the absence of an experimental model of the psychoanalytic relationship. This would include concepts of a person or self as an agency with capacities of feeling alive and close in a state of development. The model would also include past present moments which are part of a repetition where past present moments were imbedded with trauma to be avoided.
