''Click here for information [[about]] the [[notion]] of a "[[complex]]"'' The [[intrusion complex]] is one of the [[three ]] '[[family ]] [[complexes]]' which [[Lacan ]] discusses in his 1938 [[article on the family]], and arises when the [[child]] first realises that he has siblings, that [[other ]] [[subjects ]] like him participate in the family [[structure]].  The emphasis here is on likeness; the child [[identifies ]] with his siblings on the basis of the [[recognition ]] of [[bodily ]] similarity (which depends, of course, on their [[being ]] a relatively small age [[difference ]] between the [[subject ]] and his siblings).  It is this [[identification ]] that gives rise to the "[[imago ]] of the counterpart."<ref>Lacan, {{L}} 1938: 35-9</ref>
