Abstract

Lacan's mirror theory is a profound and enlightening theory. It not only reveals the complex psychological process of individuals in forming self-identity, but also shows the instability and diversity of self-identity. At the same time, the theory also provides important insights and methodological guidance for psychoanalysis and psychotherapy. In today's society, with the enhancement of self-consciousness and the increase of mental health problems, Lacan's mirror theory will receive more and more attention and importance. The present study explores multiple explorations of self-cognition with respect to Lacan's mirror theory, and proposes the impact of the theory on the development of self-cognition.
