Hello everyone!

I'm pretty new with Maple. I think I've understood the way Maple handles differentiation fairly well, but upon a specific request from my PhD tutor I have to perform a task which is giving me a hard time. 

My question is: is in any way possible to express a derivative of a function or expression in terms of the function itself?
I'll try to explain myself with an example: let f(x) and f'(x) be the function and its first derivative:

Instead of expressing f'(x) in the way shown, I'd like to express it as a function of f(x), such as in the following:

I would apply the same process to the higher order derivatives, if possible.

A huge thank you to whoever will help me!
