 "[[part-object]] " ([[FrenchFr]]: . ''[[objet partiel]]'')

According to [[Melanie Klein]], the [[infant]]'s underdeveloped capacity for perception, together with the fact that he is only concerned with his immediate gratifications, means that the [[subject]] begins byrelating only to a part of a person rather than the whole.

As the [[child]]'s [[visual apparatus]] develops, so also does his capacity to perceive people as whole objects [[object]]s rather than collections of separate parts. --

While the term 'For example, when [[part-objectFreud]]' was first introduced by the states that [[Kleiniandrive|partial drive]] s are directed towards [[schoolobject]] of s such as the [[psychoanalysisbreast]], the origins of the concept can be traced back to or [[Karl Abrahampart-object|faeces]]'s work and ultimately to , these are clearly [[Freudpart-object]]s.

For example, when [[Freud]] states also implies that the [[partial drivepenis]]s are directed towards is a [[part-object]]s such as in his discussion of the [[breastcastration complex]] or (in which the [[faecespenis]], these are clearly is imagined as a separable organ) and in his discussion of [[part-objectfetishism]]s.

[[Freud]] also implies that the [[penis]] is a [[part-object]] in his discussion of the [[castration complex]] (in which the [[penis]] is imagined as a separable organ) and in his discussion of [[fetishism]].-

[[Lacan]] finds the concept of the [[part-object]] particularly useful in his criticism of [[object-relations theory]], which he attacks for attributing a false sense of completeness to the [[completenessobject]] .  In opposition to the this tendency, [[Lacan]] argues that just as all [[drives]] are [[drive|partial drives]], so all [[objects]] are necessarily[[objectpart-objects]].  

[[body]] as a [[part-object]] is not any [[biological]] given but the [[signification|signifying]] [[system]] of [[language]]. --

In addition to the [[partial object]]s already discovered by [[psychoanalytic theory]] before [[Lacan]] (the [[breast]], the [[part-object|faeces]], the [[phallus]] as [[imaginary]] [[object]], and the [[part-object|urinary flow]]), [[Lacan ]] adds (in 1960) several more: the [[phoneme]], the [[gaze]], the voice and the nothing]].<ref>{{E}} p.315</ref>

These [[partial object]]s all have one feature in common: "they have no specular image."<ref>{{E}} p.315</ref>

"In other words, they have no specular imageare precisely that which cannot be assimilated into the [[subject]]'s [[narcissistic]] [[illusion]] of completeness."<ref>{{E}} p.315</ref>
