(Although Lacan's theory of the image at this date is often explained in terms of the influence of surrealism, it owes much more to certain currents in French psychiatry such as the work of Joseph Capgras and those psychiatric thinkers interested in problems of recognition, doubling and the image. Lacan often returned to the notion of the mirror phase to reformulate it during his teaching. It never stayed static. There is no one theory of the mirror phase in Lacan's work, but several.)
=====EditIn the Second World War=====With the German Occupation of France, Lacan was called up to serve in the French army and then posted to the Val-de-Grâce military hospital in Paris. A relationship began between Lacan and Sylvia Bataille (née Maklèes), whom he was later to marry. She was the wife of the writer and theorist [[Georges Bataille]], although the two had been separated since 1933. She was well known for her roles in the films of Jean Renoir, the most famous of these perhaps being the heroine in ''Une Partie de Campagne''. During the Occupation, [[Lacan]] made frequent trips from Paris to the South of France to see her, and in 1941 their daughter [[Judith]] was born.
