Arnold Durig (12 November 1872 – 18 October 1961) was an Austrian physiologist remembered for his investigations involving physiological and pathophysiological aspects of individuals exposed to high altitude conditions.[1]
He very probably served as the model for the "impartial person" in Sigmund Freud's polemic booklet "The Question of Lay Analysis: Conversations with an Impartial Person" (1926).[2][3]
