ABSTRACT
A woman patient was for many years in love with a man who in various ways resembled her father; among others he had the same profession and had reached in it a degree of success — neither small, nor great — which reminded her of her father's achievements. The case of the woman constitutes an example of the action of psychoanalytic therapy. It consists of divesting a given situation, individual or thing, from the infinite attributes implicit in the class. The consideration of the various aspects either explicit or implicit of a mental manifestation will always permit the discovery of the deeper levels, where the infinite set is seen in its natural state. The relationship with the mother may be achieved through various symbols. Whenever an individual refers to a particular primary object or a given symbol that represents it, the whole class of objects defined by the propositional function to which he is implicitly referring.
