{{Top}}image spèculaire{{Bottom}} The [[specular image]] ([[Fr]]. ''[[image spèculaire]]'') refers to the reflection of one's own [[body]] in the [[mirror]], the [[image]] of oneself which is simultaneously oneself and [[other]] (the '[[little other]]').
It is by [[identifying]] with the [[specular image]] that the [[infant]] first begins to construct its [[ego]] in the [[mirror stage]].
