→The Falsifying Ego
=====The Falsifying Ego=====
In other words, rationalizations of the hypnotized persons' actions wer eproduced were produced which had the function of glossing over the true state of affairs. Whereas other commentators had drawn attention to this ''"falsifying character of the ego'' " in the isolated context of negative hallucination, [[Freud]] and [[Lacan]] saw it as the basic characteristic of the [[ego]] at all times.
As with the [[ego]] of the [[mirror phase]], its task is to maintain a false appearance of [[coherence]] and [[completeness]]. Thus [[analysis]] must be mistrustful and subversive of material which stems from the [[ego]] [[domain]].) Any theory of [[psychoanalysis]] which involved the idea of the analyst making an alliance or pact with the [[patient]]'s [[ego]] was thus fundamentally ill-starred. It could only result in a mutual deception.
In this early part of [[Lacan]]'s work, the [[human]] [[subject]] oscillates between two poles: the [[image]], which is [[alienating]], and the [[real]] [[body]], which is in pieces. In his work of the 1930s and early 1940s, [[Lacan]] often attempts to show the presence of these [[images]] of the [[fragmented body]] beneath the classic [[psychoanalytic]] [[complexes]].
(The [[phantasy]] of [[fragmentation]] may be found beneath the more celebrated [[phantasy]] of [[castration]]. (He developed the thesis that ''"in [[paranoia]] we can witness a sort of decomposition'' " which illustrates clearly the stages in the "normal" constitution of the [[image]] and of [[reality]] as such.
