=====Sigmund Freud=====
=====Jacques Lacan=====
=====Early Work=====
[[Lacan]] uses the term in this sense too in his early works.<ref>{{L}} (1938) ''[[Works of Jacuqes Lacan|Les complexes familiaux dans la formation de l'individu. Essai d'analyse d'une fonction en psychologie]]'', Paris: Navarin, 1984(1938). p.109</ref>
=====Later Work=====
[[Inversion]] then usually refers to a characteristic of the [[specular image]].
What appears on one side of the [[real]] [[body]] appears on the other side of the [[image]] of the [[body]] reflected in the [[mirror]].<ref>{{L}} (1951b) "[[Works of Jacques Lacan|Some reflections on the ego]]," ''Int. J. Psycho-Anal''., vol. 34, 1953(1951b). p.15</ref>
=====Imaginary Order=====
In 1957, both senses of the term are brought together in [[Lacan]]'s discussion of [[Leonardo da Vinci]].
Taking up [[Freud]]'s argument about [[Leonardo]]'s [[homosexuality]].<ref>{{F}} (1910c.) ''[[Works of Sigmund Freud|Leonardo da Vinci and a Memory of his Childhood]]'', [[SE]] XI, p. 59.</ref>
[[Lacan]] goes on to argue that [[Leonardo]]'s [[specular]] [[identification]] was highly unusual in that it resulted in an [[inversion]] of the positions (on [[schema L]]) of the [[ego]] and the [[little other]].<ref>{{S4}} p.433-4</ref>
