ABSTRACT
The well-known stage of the mirror designates the just ontological and psychic moment of human evolution that occurred between 6 and 18 months of life, a stage in which the child anticipates the control and integration of his ego as a unified, independent and individual body structure. This intricate natural phenomenon requires the stimulating identification and interpretation of the image of a similar, the exact reflection of the perception of its SELF projected in the congener. "Le State du miroir comme formateur de la fonction du Je" is the main writing of Jaques Lacan, a renowned French psychoanalyst in whom he conceives the concept of the law of the mirror after numerous experimental studies; arguing the precise egocentric identification and the potential birth of narcissism experienced at an early age at the moment of the establishment of self-awareness. It is a frequent habit, often unconscious and illusory, to project ourselves into the figure of others, attributing defects and virtues that only our senses want to perceive; the mirror theory proposed by the author invites us to change this erratic perspective to the full rational awareness of the qualities and deficiencies that we really possess without waiting for the refraction of the mirror settled in others with the magnificent opportunity to relate to the environment and in a way reciprocates discover and find ourselves.REFERENCES
