Freud, having completed the analysis of anxiety at the department of the special instance of the Super-ego, outlined a scheme for the formation of an object in the representation. The super-ego acts as the double of the ego, its protector and censor. The I is mirrored in the Super-Ego. The control of the superego is known, there is no secret in it, but everyone knows that in an attack of conscience there is inevitably anxiety. The super-ego is a phantasm in relation to the ego - after all, control cannot be natural; it is always characterized by the qualities of artificiality, imported from the outside. This is something that can be a reflection, and - have a reflection, reflect (censor), be reflected in the Self. In order to prohibit something, to some extent it is necessary for it to be prohibited. What is this if not the property of reflection? When we meet something new, we don’t worry every time. Then, isn't reflection related to the object of anxiety? But Freud and Rank came to the idea of ​​a certain object. This object is related to fantasy. Both pointed out that anxiety arises with the participation of fantasy related to the act of birth. What common features do fantasies about the act of physical birth and the act of castration have in common? The person does not remember himself, but in these fantasies he is not alone, he looks like another person. There is an ambiguity in the logic of the birth phantasm. “The ambiguity is due to the fact that we inevitably imagine it in a mirror register. We therefore have to learn to use the imagination in a different way - so that it is able to visually imagine this object” [21, p. 52]. It’s as if we are trying to imagine a stranger to ourselves, while at the same time not having the slightest idea about him. “A person is always greeted by just a virtual image” [21, p. 53]. A virtual image, a double, as follows from Freud’s theory, is disturbing. Anxiety subsides only when the secret of the duplicated, virtual, automatic is revealed. Children, having overcome the fear of a mechanical toy, try to take it apart. Interest in research and analysis is the essence of the process thinking. The child, breaking the mechanism, hopes to find out the secret, to touch the secret, but, having dismantled everything down to the last screw, he only concerns himself with anxiety - he found nothing. The object of alarm escaped again. All that remains from the action is a story about the desire to find something. Isn’t the same thing happening in analytical experience? “In the image of desire that a person develops, that which serves as a support for desire in fantasy remains invisible” [21, p. 53]. At the same time, as a rule, a disassembled toy for some reason begins to evoke a pleasant feeling of being familiar. She is “one of us.” The child observed her in different states. In some, it was still endowed with an original meaning, “objectified” by representation. In others, the reference point to this idea had already been lost and anxiety increased. But as soon as these “disassembled” phases were presented again, in the form of a thing, the anxiety subsided.
