Jacques Lacan drew on the empirical research of the psychologist Henri Wallon both in his 1938 theory of the mirror stage ("the intrusion complex") and in subsequent formulations. Yet, like Lacan's famous "return" to Freud, his recourse to Wallon is revisionary and, at times, antithetical. This essay examines the disparities between Wallon's and Lacan's work on the mirror experience, focusing especially on the status of the mirror and the identity of the reflected image. An analysis of these differences helps to clarify the meaning of the child's specular activity--"an ontological structure of the human world"--in Lacan's later view and the implications of reflexive recognition for his conception of parental agency.
Re-examining a classic paper by K. R. Eissler forty years after its publication recalled for the author his own "origins" in psychoanalysis in the same period, allowing a vivid context in which to view Eissler's contribution. Eissler's attempt to maintain a disciplined clinical position based on the structural theory as the foundation for psychoanalysis as a science, in the face of many proposed changes in both technique and theory in the decade after Freud's death, made many analysts refer to this paper as a kind of bible for the orthodox. This revisit attempts to explore the questions of how and why such a characterization of this paper has taken place.
