Abstract
In this tribute to Martin S. Bergmann, the author pays homage to his classically informed, intellectually rigorous perspective on psychoanalysis. Bergmann conceptualized psychoanalysis as an open-ended method of inquiry, interpretation, and reconstruction, and believed that the process of understanding the self was the prerequisite to loving another.
