==Ego-Psychology==The term '"[[autonomous ego]]' " was coined by the proponents of [[ego-psychology]].
The [[autonomous ego]] is thus synomymous with "the strong ego," "the well-adapted ego," "the healthy ego."
[[Psychoanalysis]] was conceived of by the proponents of [[ego-psychology]] as the process of helping the [[analysand]]s [[ego]] to become [[autonomous]]: this was supposed to be achieved by the [[identification]] of the [[analysand]] with the strong [[ego]] of the [[analyst]].
==Jacques Lacan's Criticism==
[[Lacan]] is very critical of the concept of the [[autonomous ego]].<ref>{{E}} p.306-7</ref>
It is the [[symbolic order]], and not the [[ego]], which enjoys [[autonomy]].
