==Jacques Lacan==
The [[notion]] of the [[fragmented body]] is one of the earliest original [[concepts]] to appear in [[Lacan]]'s [[Works of Jacques Lacan|work]], and is closely linked to the [[concept]] of the [[mirror stage]].
fragmented ==Mirror Stage==In the [[mirror stage]] the [[infant]] sees its [[reflection]] in the [[mirror]] as a [[whole]]/[[synthesis]], and this [[perception]] causes, by contrast, the [[perception]] of its own [[body ]] (corps morcelÈwhich [[lack]]s [[motor coordination]] at this [[stage]]) The notion of the as [[division|divided]] and [[fragmentation|fragmented]].

the negative transference. This moment is an important early sign that the treatment is progressing in the right direction, i.e. towards the disintegration of the rigid unity of the ego (Lacan, 1951b: 13).  In a more general sense, the fragmented body refers not only to images of the physical body but also to any sense of fragmentation and disunity: 'He [the subject] is originally an inchoate collection of desires - there you have the true  sense of the expression fragmented body' (S3, 39). Any such sense of disunity threatens the illusion of synthesis which constitutes the ego.  Lacan also uses the idea of the fragmented body to explain certain typical symptoms of hysteria. When a hysterical paralysis affects a limb, it does not respect the physiological structure of the nervous system, but instead reflects the way the body is divided up by an 'imaginary anatomy'. In this way, the fragmented body is 'revealed at the organic level, in the lines of fragilization that define the anatomy of phantasy, as exhibited in the schizoid and spasmo- dic symptoms of hysteria' (E, 5).__NOTOC__
