==Jacques Lacan=====Early Work===In his pre-1950 writings, [[Lacan ]] sees [[psychoanalysis ]] and [[psychology ]] as parallel disciplines which can cross-fertilise each other.

Although he is very critical of the conceptual inadequacies of [[psychology|associationist psychology]], [[Lacan ]] argues that [[psychoanalysis ]] can help to build an '"authentic psychology' " free from such errors by providing it with truly [[science|scientific ]] concepts such as the ''[[imago]] '' and the [[complex]]. (Lacan<ref>{{L}} "Au-delà du 'principe de realité'", 1936).{{E}} pp. 73-92</ref>

===Middle Work===However, from 1950 on, there is a gradual but constant tendency to dissociate [[psychoanalysis ]] from [[psychology]].  [[Lacan ]] begins by arguing that [[psychology ]] is confined to an understanding of [[nature|animal psychology ]] ([[nature|ethology]]):

This is not to say that it cannot say anything about [[human beings]] [[being]]s, for humans [[human]]s are also animals[[animal]]s, but that it cannot say anything about that which is uniquely [[human (although ]].<ref>Although at one point [[Lacan ]] does state that the theory of the [[ego ]] and of [[narcissism ]] 'extend' modern ethological research; {{Ec, }} p. 472).  Thus psychology is reduced to general laws of behaviour which apply to all animals, including human beings; Lacan rejects 'the doctrine of a discontinuity between animal psychology and human psychology which is far away from our thought' (Ec, 484). </ref>

However, Lacan vigorously rejects the behaviourist theory according Thus [[psychology]] is reduced to which the same general laws of behaviour are sufficient which apply to explain all [[animal]]s, including [[human psychic phenomena]] [[being]]s; [[Lacan]] rejects "the doctrine of a discontinuity between animal psychology and human psychology which is far away from our thought."<ref>{{Ec}} p. 484</ref>

Only psychoanalysisHowever, [[Lacan]] vigorously rejects the [[biology|behaviourist theory]] according to which uncovers the linguistic basis same general laws of human subjectivity, is adequate behaviour are sufficient to explain those all [[human]] [[psychic ]] phenomena which are specifically human.

In [[Lacan]] argues that [[psychology]] is essentially a tool of "technocratic exploitation",({{Ec}} p.851; {{Ec}} p. 832</ref> and that it is dominated by the 1960s the distance between psychoanalysis [[delusion|illusions]] of [[lack|wholeness]] and [[imaginary|synthesis]], [[nature]] and [[instinct]], [[autonomy]] and psychology is emphasised further in Lacan's work[[consciousness|self-consciousness]].<ref>{{Ec}} p. 832</ref>

Lacan argues that psychology is essentially a tool of "technocratic exploitation"[[Psychoanalysis]],({{Ec}} p.851; {{Ec}} p. 832</ref> and that it is dominated by on the illusions of wholeness and synthesisother hand, subverts these [[natureillusion]] and s cherished by [[instinctpsychology]], autonomy and self-consciousness (Ec, 832)in this sense "the Freudian enunciation has nothing to do with psychology.<ref>{{S17}} p. 144</ref>

Psychoanalysis, on For example the other hand, subverts these illusions most cherished by [[illusion]] of [[psychology, and in this sense ]] is "the Freudian enunciation has nothing to do with psychology.unity of the subject",<ref>{{S17E}} p. 144294</ref> , and [[psychoanalysis]] subverts this notion by demonstrating that the [[subject]] is irremediably [[split]] or "[[bar]]red".

For example the most cherished illusion of psychology is 'the unity of the subject",<ref>==See Also=={{ESee}}* [[Bar]]* [[Biology]]* [[Instinct]]||* [[Language]]* [[Nature]]* [[Psychoanalysis]]||* [[Science]]* [[Split]]* [[Subject]]{{Also}} p. 294</ref>, and psychoanalysis subverts this notion by demonstrating that the subject is irremediably split or "barred".
