In his first [[reading]] of Freud's [[work]], Lacan emphasized the [[notion]] of the childimage by highlighting its function: reflecting the subject's movement into discrete behaviors in [[unified]] [[images]]. In the [[mirror]] [[stage]], the subject [[identifies]] with these images and develops an ego [[concept]] in relation to [[another]]. -->=====Ego=====The [[imaginary|imaginary order]] is based on the [[formation]] of the [[ego]] in the [[mirror stage]] by [[identification]] with the [[counterpart]] (or [[specular image]]). The [[dual relation]] between the symbolic [[ego]] and the [[counterpart]] is characterized by [[alienation]] and [[narcissism]].<!-- The [[imaginary|imaginary order]] is based on the [[mirror stage]], whereby the [[ego]] is constituted by [[identification]] with the [[other|little other]].

IndeedThus, [[identification]] is an important aspect of the [[imaginary|imaginary order]]. The [[ego]] and the symbolic [[counterpart]] [[form]] the prototypical [[dual relation]]ship, and are, according interchangeable. identification is essential to the structure of the imaginary [[order]] and to Lacanthe [[development]] of the human ego.</i> The basis of the [[imaginary|imaginary order]] is the [[mirror stage]], inextricably intertwined in which the [[subject]] [[identification|identifies]] with its [[counterpart]] or [[specular image] and work develops an ego concept in tension relation to another. ((Since the [[ego]] is formed by [[identifying]] with the Real[[counterpart]] or [[specular image]], [[identification]] is an important aspect of the [[imaginary|imaginary order]]. See ))--><!--This relation­ship whereby the Lacan module on [[ego]] is constituted by [[identification]] with the [[other|little other]] means that the [[ego]], and the [[imaginary|imaginary order]] itself, are both sites of a radical [[alienation]]; "Alienation is constitutive of the imaginary order."<ref>{{S3}} p. 146</ref> The [[dual relation]]ship between the [[ego]] and the structure [[counterpart]] is fundamentally [[narcissistic]], and [[narcissism]] is another characteristic of the psyche[[imaginary|imaginary order]].
