Essay on the process of creation of the psyche and its modeling

This essay is based on a twofold intuition: the psyche is linked to the loss of instinct and it is possible to model it. After studying biology and working as an IT consultant, retirement gives me the opportunity to delve deeper into this subject that I had set aside for several decades. First, I needed to base my approach on a solid framework. Psychoanalytic psychology appeared to me as the ideal path for this. I audited the entire undergraduate and master's program in psychoanalytic psychology at Lyon 2 University. From the very first tutorials, the texts we were given appeared to me as...a process that can be modeled. I started to draw some initial diagrams. The difficulty quickly became apparent to me due to the diversity of authors. This led me to develop a unified model. I built it with the help of my teaching assistant during my undergraduate studies. I shared my ideas with her. She told me she had to deconstruct her existing knowledge to follow my lead. I thank her for her persistence. Subsequently, I continued on my own, using the methods of an IT consultant who approaches a client's business with an open mind to assist them in their transition project. I re-established regular contact with a master's level professor to validate my ideas and compare them to clinical situations.
