Gedo and Arnold Goldberg, delineate and order the various generally accepted systems of psychological functioning, considered here as "models of the mind." In the past, there has been a tendency for psychoanalysts to discard old models as new ones are added to the array. In contrast, the authors of this work integrate all theories which have proven aspects of validity. The authors provide a historical review of four major models of the mind: the topographic model, the reflex arc model, the tripartite model, and an object relations model. They then investigate the possible hierarchical interrelationships of such models. Each model is shown to represent a different facet of mental functioning and is thus employable on an ad hoc basis. A given set of data can be best understood utilizing one particular frame of reference, whereas another set of data demands a different model for its conceptualization. The models are shown not to cancel one another out but to allow for theoretical complementarity. ...
