[[Freud]] talks about the "[[splitting of the ego]]" ([[German]]: ''[[Ich-spaltung]]'', [[French]]: ''[[clivage du moi]]'') as a process, observable in [[fetishism]] and [[psychosis]], whereby two contradictory attitudes come to exist side by side in the [[ego]] - acceptance and [[disavowal]].<ref>Freud. F{{F}} 1940b.</ref>

==Jacques Lacan==
The [[split]] is irreducible, can never be healed; there is no possibility of [[synthesis]].
The [[split]] or '[[split|divided]] [[subject]]' is [[symbolization|symbolised]] by the [[bar]] which strikes through the <i>'''S'''</i> to produce the [[bar]]red [[subject]], <i>'''$'''</i>.<ref>{{E}} p.288</ref>
The [[subject]] is [[split]] by the very fact that he is a "[[speaking being]],"<ref>{{E}} p.269</ref> because [[speech]] [[divides]] the [[subject]] of the [[enunciation]] from the [[subject]] of the [[statement]].
In his [[seminar]] of 1964-5 [[Lacan]] theorises the [[split]] [[subject]] in terms of a [[division]] between [[truth]] and [[knowledge]] (''[[savoir]]'').<ref>{{Ec}} p.856)</ref>
