==Definition==
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]].
==Freudian Dictionary==
<blockquote>I have noticed in the course of my [[psychoanalytical]] [[work]] that the [[psychological]] [[state]] of a man in an attitude of reflection is entirely different from that of a man who is observing his [[psychic]] [[processes]]. In reflection there is a greater play of psychic [[activity]] than in the most attentive selfobservation; this is shown even by the tense attitude and the wrinkled brow of the man in a state of reflection, as opposed to the mimic tranquillity of the man observing himself.<ref>{{IoD}} Ch. 2</ref></blockquote>
