==Mirror Stage and Ego Formation==
The '[[fragmented body]]' is closely linked to the concept of the [[mirror stage]].
In the [[mirror stage]] the [[infant]] sees its [[reflection]] in the [[mirror]] as a [[whole]]/[[synthesis]], and this [[perception]] causes, by contrast, the [[perception]] of its own [[body]] (which [[lack]]s [[motor coordination]] at this [[stage]]) as [[division|divided]] and [[fragmentation|fragmented]].
The [[anxiety]] provoked by this feeling of [[fragmentation]] fuels the [[identification]] with the [[specular image]] by which the [[ego]] is [[formation|formed]].
==See Also==
* [[fragmented body]]
* [[ego]]
* [[mirror stage]]
* [[body]]
* [[lack]]
* [[fragmentation]]
* [[illusion]]
