==Jacques Lacan==
The ‘imago term "[[counterpart]]" plays an important part in [[Lacan]]'s [[Works of Jacques Lacan|work]] from the counterpart’ is interchangeable with the image of the subject’s own body1930s on, the specular iamge with which the subject identifies and designates other [[people]] in whom the mirror stage, leading to the formation of the ego. This interchangeability illustrates the way that the [[subject constitutes his objects on the basis of his ego. The image of another perosn’s body can only be identified with insofar as it is perceived as similar ]] perceives a likeness to one’s own body, and conversely the counterpart is only recognized as himself (principally a separate, identifiable ego by projecting one’s own ego onto him[[visual]] likeness).
The [[counterpart]] plays an important part in the [[intrusion complex]] and in the [[mirror stage]] (which are themselves closely related.
=def=Intrusion Complex==The [[intrusion complex]] is one of the [[three]] "[[family]] [[complex|complexes]]" which [[Lacan]] discusses in his 1938 article on the [[family]], and arises when the [[child]] first realizes that he has siblings, that other [[subject]]s ''like him'' participate in the [[family]] [[structure]].
The emphasis here is on likeness; the [[child]] [[identification|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).
=="Imago of the Counterpart"==
It is this [[identification]] that gives rise to the "[[counterpart|imago of the counterpart]]."<ref>{{L}} ''[[Works of Jacques Lacan|Les complexes familiaux dans la formation de l'individu. Essai d'analyse d'une fonction en psychologie]]'', [[Paris]]: Navarin, 1984. p. 35-9</ref>
=="Littler Other"==In 1955 [[Lacan]] introduces a [[distinction]] between the "[[big Other]]" and the "[[little other]]" --or the "[[imaginary other]]" -- reserving the latter term for the [[counterpart plays an important part in the intrusion complex ]] and in the MIRROR/or [[specular image]].
