Originally introduced into [[psychoanalytic theory]] by [[Jung]] in 19111, the Latin term ''[[imago]]'' had already become standard in psychoanalytic terminology by the time [[Lacan]] began [[training]] as a [[psychoanalyst]] in the 1930s.

==Images==The term is clearly related to the term "[[image]]", but it is meant to emphasize the subjective determination of the [[image]]; in other words, it includes feelings as well as a visual representation. [[Imago]]s are specifically images [[image]]s of other people.
However, they are not the product of purely personal experience but universal prototypes which may be actualized in anyone's [[psyche]].
[[Imago]]s act as sterotypes stereotypes influencing the way the [[subject]] relates to other poplepeople, who are perceived through the lens of these various [[imago]]s. -- The term '[[imago]]' occupies a central role in [[Lacan]]'s pre-1950 writings, where it is closely related to the term [[complex]]. In 1938, [[Lacan]] links each of the three family complexes to a specific imago: the weaning complex is liked to the iamgo of the maternal breast, the intrusion complex to the imago of the counterpart, and the Oedipus complex to the imago of the father.<ref>Lacan. 1938.</ref>

==Psychology==
In 1946, [[Lacan]] argues that in formulating the concept of the [[imago]], [[psychoanalysis]] has provided [[psychology]] with a proper object of study and thus set [[psychology]] on a truly scientific footing.

==Negative Effects==
Whereas for [[Jung]] and [[Klein]] [[imago]]s have equally positive and negative effects, in [[Lacan]]'s work they are weighted firmly towards the negative, being funamentally deceptive and disruptive elements.
Whereas for [[JungLacan]] speaks of the [[imago]] of the [[fragmented body]], and even [[Kleinautonomy|unified]] [[imago]]s have equally positive and negative effects, In such as the [[specular image]] are mere [[Lacanillusion]]'s work they are wighted firmly towards the negative, ebing funamentally deceptive and disruptive elementsof [[lack|wholeness]] which introduce an underlying [[aggressivity]].
[[Lacan ]]speaks <blockquote>"The first effect of the [[imago]] of which appears in the [[fragmented body]], and even unified imagos such as the [[specular image]] are mere illusions human being is an effect of wholeness which introduce an underlyign [[aggressivity]]subjective ''alienation''.<ref>{{Ec}} p.181</ref></blockquote>
==Jacques Lacan==After 1950 the term "The first effect of the [[imago which appears in the human being is an effect of subjective ''alienation']]" disappears almost entirely from [[Lacan]]'s [[theoretical]] [[:category:concepts|vocabulary]].<ref>{{Ec}} p.181</ref>
--After 1950 the term '[[imago]]' disappears almost entirely from [[Lacan]]'s theoretical vocabulary. However, the basis ideas developed aroudn around the term in [[Lacan]]'s pre-1950 writings continue to play an important part in his thinking, being articulated around other terms, principally the term '"[[image]]".'
