‌‌‌‌　　英：autonomous ego

‌‌‌‌　　“自主的自我”是由自我心理学 (EGO-PSYCHOLOGY)的支持者们所创造的一项术语。根据自我心理学的这些支持者的观点，自我 (EGO)可通过在其原始冲动与现实要求之间达到某种和谐的平衡而变得自主。因而，自主的自我便同义于“强大的自我”(the strong ego)、“适应良好的自我”(the well-adapted ego)以及“健康的自我”(the healthy ego)。精神分析被自我心理学的这些支持者们构想为帮助分析者的自我变得自主的过程：此一过程是通过让分析者认同于分析家的强大的自我而实现的。

‌‌‌‌　　拉康对于自主的自我这一概念持极具批判性的态度（见：E, 306-7)。他指出，自我并非是自由的，而是由象征秩序所决定的。自我的自主性仅仅是一种自恋式的主人性幻象。真正享有自主性的不是自我，而是象征秩序。

‌‌‌‌　　The term 'autonomous ego'was coined by the proponents of EGO-PSYCHOLOGY. According to the proponents of ego-psychology, the EGO becomes autonomous byachieving a harmonious balance between its primitive drives and the dictates of reality. The autonomous ego is thus synomymous with 'the strong ego','the well-adapted ego','the healthy ego'. Psychoanalysis was conceived of by the proponents ofego-psychologyas the process of helping the analysand's ego to become autonomous: this was supposedto be achieved by the identification of the analysand with the strong ego of the analyst.

‌‌‌‌　　Lacan is very critical of the concept of the autonomous ego (see E, 306-7). He arguesthat the ego is not free but determined by the symbolic order. The autonomy of the ego issimply a narcissistic illusion of mastery. It is the symbolic order, and not the ego, whichenjoys autonomy.
