==Jacques Lacan=====The Three Orders===Although [[Jacques Lacan]] first develops uses the [[terms]] "[[real]]," "[[symbolic]]" and "[[imaginary]]" from early on in his work, it is not until 1953 that he speaks of these as [[three ']] "[[order]]s' (" or 'three "[[order|register]]s'.") From that [[moment]] on they come to be the fundamental classification [[system]] around which all his theorizing turns. This classification system allows important distinctions to be drawn between [[concepts]] which, according to [[Lacan]], had previously been confused in 1953[[psychoanalytic theory]].

The ===Psychoanalytic Theory===For example [[ImaginaryLacan]] argues that much misunderstanding has arisen in [[psychoanalytic theory]] due to a failure to distinguish between the [[imaginary]] [[father]], the [[Symbolicsymbolic]] [[father]] and the [[Realreal]] thus comprise a basic classification system (around which all [[father]]. Thus [[Lacan]]'s theorising turns) which allows important distinctions to be drawn between concepts which, according to claims that his [[tripartite]] classification system has shed invaluable light on [[LacanFreud]], had previously been confused in 's [[psychoanalytic theorywork]]. :

For example <blockquote>"Without these three systems to [[Lacanguide]] argues that much misunderstanding has arisen in ourselves by, it would be [[psychoanalytic theoryimpossible]] due to a failure to distinguish between the [[Imaginaryunderstand]] father, anything of the [[SymbolicFreudian]] father and the [[Realtechnique]] fatherand experience."<ref>{{S1}} p. 73</ref></blockquote>

Thus ===Distinction===The [[imaginary]], the [[symbolic]] and the [[real]] are profoundly heterogeneous, each referring to quite distinct aspects of [[psychoanalytic]] [[experience]]. It is therefore difficult to see what they have in common, and yet, the fact that [[Lacan]] claims refers to all three as "[[order]]s" implies that they share some common property. [[Lacan]] explores this question of what the three [[order]]s have in common by means of the [[topology]] of the [[Borromean knot]] in his tripartite classification system has shed invaluable light on 1974-5 [[seminar]], [[RSI]]. They are not [[mental]] forces like the three [[agency|agencies]] in [[Freud]]'s [[workstructural model]]. However, they are primarily concerned with mental functioning, and together they cover the [[whole]] field of [[psychoanalysis]]: .

<blockquote>"Without these three systems to guide ourselves by, it would be impossible to understand anything of the Freudian technique and experience."<ref>{{S1}} p.73</ref></blockquote>===Interdependence=== The [[Imaginary]], the [[Symbolic]] and the [[Real]] are profoundly heterogeneous, each referring to quite distinct aspects of [[psychoanalytic]] [[experience]].  It is therefore difficult to see what they have in common, and yet, Although the fact that [[Lacan]] refers to all three as '[[orderorders]]s' implies that they share some common property.  [[Lacan]] explores this question of what the three [[order]]s have in common by means of the [[topology]] of the [[Borromean knot]] in his 1974-5 [[seminar]], [[RSI]].  They are not mental forces like the three [[agency|agencies]] in [[Freud]]'s [[structural model]].  However, they are primarily concerned with mental functioning, and together they cover the whole field of [[psychoanalysis]]. Although the three orders are profoundly heterogeneous, each order must be defined by reference to the [[other ]] two.  The [[structural ]] interdependence of the three [[order]]s is illustrated by the [[Borromean Knotknot]], in which the severing of any one of the three rings causes the other two to become separated also.<!-- =====More=====It should also be noted that the "orders" are not [[stable]] concepts; at each moment each may be implicated in the redefinition of the [[others]].-->
