In this unit we saw Psychoanalysis body image has been psychology. The first stage Krueger (2002) described referred to the importance of proprioception for the body-self and its function (in the context of ordinary care and feeding) in establishing a basis forself-representation. The second stage he associated with the role of the maternal mirror in supporting the capacity to acquire a cognitive sense of one’s own body. This he suggested establishes boundedness for the individual. The third stage he described corresponds with the developmental process inaugurated by the mirror stage. Krueger suggested that the third stage gives the child an integrated outline into which the experience of the inside and the outside of the body can be thought about as whole. This last stage consolidates the early steps in cognitive development and through it the ability for abstract thinking.
