==Dialectic==
The "[[beautiful soul]]" is a [[stage]] in the [[dialectic]] of [[self-consciousness]] which [[Hegel]] describes in the ''[[Phenomenology of Spirit]]''.<ref>[[Hegel|Hegel, G. W. F.]] ''[[Phenomenology of Spirit]]'', trans. A. V. [[Miller]], with [[Analysis]] of the [[Text]] and Foreward by [[J. N. Findlay]], Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1985 [1807].</ref> The [[beautiful soul]] projects its own disorder onto the [[world]] and attempts to [[cure]] this disorder by imposing "the law of the heart" on everyone else.
==Ego==
For [[Lacan]], the [[beautiful soul]] is a perfect [[metaphor]] for the [[ego]]:
<blockquote>"[T]he ego of modern man ... has taken on its [[form]] in the [[dialectical]] [[impasse]] of the ''belle âme'' who does not recognise his very own ''raison d'être'' in the disorder that he denounces in the world."<ref>{{E}} p. 70</ref></blockquote>
==Paranoia==
In a more extreme way, the [[beautiful soul]] also illustrates the [[structure]] of [[paranoia]]c [[misrecognition]] (''[[méconnaissance]]'').<ref>{{Ec}} pp. 172-3</ref>
==Neurosis==
The [[concept]] of the [[beautiful soul]] illustrates the way that [[neurosis|neurotics]] often deny their own [[responsibility]] for what is going on around [[them]].
==Ethics of Psychoanalysis==
The [[ethics]] of [[psychoanalysis]] enjoin [[analysand]]s to recognize their own part in their [[suffering]]s.
==Dora==
Thus when [[Dora]] complains [[about]] [[being]] treated as an [[object]] of [[exchange]] by the men around her, [[Freud]]'s first [[intervention]] is to confront her with her own complicity in this exchange.<ref>{{Ec}} p. 218-19</ref>
