Summary/Abstract: The image of God refers to the intellectual and moral side of the soul, that is, to God-oriented reason and freedom. The fall into sin has led to the alteration of the image of God in man, that is, the deterioration of the integrity of the soul’s powers and the antagonism between the spiritual and the sensual. In the preoccupations of modern psychology, the psychoanalytic conception is also included. If Sigmund Freud sees unconsciously the whole background of the psychic life, it will be inner-closed, because neither the self, nor the ego, nor the Freudian superego have a social aproach. Eduard Pamfil, the founder of the psychiatric school and clinic in Timişoara, demonstrates that the person designates the dynamic unitary organization of the most representative features of the fully developed and complete individual. Eduard Pamfil, through an original system of thinking, proves that the human person is not the ego itself, but it is structured in a triple laboratory formed by the me-you-him. The human self is an unfulfilled reality, and only the person defines human consciousness to become axiological. And the person structured in the incandescent triple laboratory, is defined as love, materialized in generosity and altruism. Nothing is more appropriate than to see in man the image of the Holy Trinity and the ascension of its axiological future after its likeness, according to the demonstration provided by Father Professor Dumitru Stăniloae.
