==Psychoanalysis==Originally introduced into [[psychoanalytic theory]] by [[Jung]] in 191111911, the [[Latin ]] term ''[[imago]]'' had already become standard in [[psychoanalytic ]] [[:category:terms|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.

==Complex==The term "[[imago]]" occupies a central [[role]] in [[Lacan]]'s pre--1950 writings, where it is closely related to the term [[complex]].

The term 'In 1938, [[Lacan]] [[links]] each of the [[three]] [[family complex]]es to a specific [[imago]]: the [[weaning]] [[complex]] is liked to the [[imago]]' occupies a central role in of the [[maternal]] [[Lacanbreast]]'s pre-1950 writings, where it is closely related the [[intrusion complex]] to the term [[imago]] of the [[counterpart]], and the [[Oedipus complex]] to the [[imago]] of the [[father]].<ref>{{1938}}</ref>

==Psychology==In 19381946, [[Lacan]] links each argues that in formulating the [[concept]] 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 [[psychoanalysis]] has provided [[psychology]] with a proper [[object]] of the counterpart, study and the Oedipus complex to the imago of the father.<ref>Lacan. 1938thus set [[psychology]] on a truly [[scientific]] footing.</ref>

In 1946<blockquote>"It is possible.. to designate in the imago the proper object of psychology, exactly to the same extent that [[Galileo]]'s [[Lacannotion]] argues that in formulating of the concept of inert [[material]] poitn formed the imago, psychoanalysis has provided psychology with a proper object basis of study and thus set psychology on a truly scientific footingphsyics."<ref>{{Ec}} p.188</ref></blockquote>
