==Ego-Psychology==The term '"[[autonomous ego' ]]" was coined by the proponents of EGO[[ego-PSYCHOLOGYpsychology]].  ==Adaptation==According to the proponents of [[ego-psychology]], the EGo [[ego]] becomes [[autonomous ]] by achieving a [[adaptation|harmonious balance ]] between its [[primitive drives ]] [[drive]]s and the dictates of [[reality]].  The [[autonomous ego ]] is thus synomymous with '"the strong ego', '" "the well-adapted ego', '" "the healthy ego'. "  ==Identification==[[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]]. ==Narcissism==[[Lacan ]] is very critical of the [[concept ]] of the [[autonomous ego (see ]].<ref>{{E, }} p.306-7). </ref>  He argues that the [[ego ]] is not free but determined by the [[symbolic order]].  ==Symbolic Order==The [[autonomy ]] of the [[ego ]] is simply a [[narcissistic ]] [[illusion ]] of [[mastery]].  It is the [[symbolic order]], and not the [[ego]], which [[enjoys ]] [[autonomy]]. ==See Also=={{See}}* [[Adaptation]]* [[Analysand]]* [[Analyst]]||* [[Ego]]* [[Ego-psychology]]* [[Identification]]||* [[Narcissism]]* [[Psychology]]* [[Reality]]{{Also}}
