Freud's followers would continue to exploit the potential tension between the concepts of superego and ego ideal . " Hermann Nunberg defined the ideal ego as the combination of the ego and the id.

Thereafter Daniel Lagache developed the distinction, asserting with particular reference to adolescence that " the adolescent identifies him-or herself anew with the ideal ego and strives by this means to separate from the superego and the ego ideal ."

In a more critical vein, Lacan also took up Lagache's work on the ego ideal, as a springboard for his own article " Remarque sur le rapport de Daniel Lagache " on the distinction of the ideal ego and the ego ideal '.

Whereas Freud " seemed to use the terms indiscriminately . . . ideal ego or ego ideal, " in the thirties'Hermann Nunberg, following Freud, had introduced a split into this concept, making the " Ideal-Ich " genetically prior to the " surmoi " ( superego ).

Mulvey describes its two central forms that are based in Freud s concept of scopophilia, as : " pleasure that is linked to sexual attraction ( voyeurism in extremis ) and scopophilic pleasure that is linked to narcissistic identification ( the introjection of ideal egos ) ", in order to demonstrate how women have historically been forced to view film through the " male gaze ".

To resolve this aggressive tension, the subject identifies with the image : this primary identification with the counterpart is what forms the Ego . ( Evans, 1996 ) The moment of identification is to Lacan a moment of jubilation since it leads to an imaginary sense of mastery . ( " �crits ", " The Mirror Stage " ) Yet, the jubilation may also be accompanied by a depressive reaction, when the infant compares his own precarious sense of mastery with the omnipotence of the mother . ( " La relation d'objet " ) This identification also involves the ideal ego which functions as a promise of future wholeness sustaining the Ego in anticipation.

In Freud's " On Narcissism : an Introduction " [ 1914 ], among other innovations " most important of all perhaps it introduces the concepts of the'ego ideal'and of the self-observing agency related to it, which were the basis of what was ultimately to be described as the'super-ego'in " The Ego and the Id " ( 1923b ) . " Freud considered that the ego ideal was the heir to the narcissism of childhood : the " ideal ego is now the target of the self-love which was enjoyed in childhood by the actual ego . . . is the substitute for the lost narcissism of his childhood ."
