"[[end of analysis]]" ([[Fr]]. '{{Top}}fin d'[[fin d'analyse]]''){{Bottom}}

In ''Analysis Terminable and Interminable'', ==Jacques Lacan==[[FreudLacan]] reflects upon whether it 's answer is ever possible to discusses the question of whether it is ever possible to conclude an that [[analysispsychoanalytic treatment]], or whether all is a [[analysesprogress|logical process]] are necessarily incomplete.<ref>{{F}} ''Analysis Terminable with a beginning and Interminable''. 1937. an end-point, designated as the "[[SEend of analysis]] XXIII p".211</ref>

===Aim===The [[Lacanend of analysis|''end'' of analysis]] must be distinguished from the ''[[End of analysis|aim]]'s answer to this question is that it is indeed possible to speak ' of concluding an [[analysispsychoanalytic treatment]].

Although not all The [[analysesend of analysis|aim]] are carried through to their conclusion, of [[analytic treatment]] is a logical process which has an end, and to lead the [[Lacananalysand]] designates this end-point by to articulate the term "'''[[end of analysistruth]]" (''' [[Frabout]]. ''his or her [[fin d'analysedesire]]'').

==The Aim question of Psychoanalytic Treatment==the [[end of analysis]] is therefore something more than whether a [[treatment|course]] of [[treatment|analytic treatment]] has or has not achieved its aim; it is a question of whether or not the [[treatment]] has reached its [[logical]] [[End of analysis|end-point]].

Given that many ===Definition===[[analysesLacan]] are broken off before the conceives of this [[end End of analysis|end-point]] is reached, the question arises as to whether such [[analyses]] can be considered successful or notin various ways.

To answer this question it is necessary to distinguish between :1. In the early 1950s, [[Lacan]] describes the [[end of analysis]] as "the advent of a [[true]] [[speech]] and the realization by the [[end subject]] of analysishis [[history]]" -- that is, as coming to [[terms]] with one's own [[death|aim of psychoanalytic treatmentmortality]]. <ref>{{E}} p. 88</ref>

:<blockquote>"The [[end of analysis|aim of psychoanalytic treatmentsubject]] is to lead ... begins the analysis by [[analysandspeaking]] about himself without speaking to articulate the you, or by speaking to you without speaking about himself. When he can [[truthspeak]] to you about his [[desire]]himself, the analysis will be over."<ref>{{Ec}} p. 373, n. 1</ref></blockquote>

Any :2. In 1960, [[Lacan]] describes the [[end of analysis]]as a [[state]] of [[anxiety]] and [[anxiety|abandonment]] -- that is, however incomplete, may be regarded as successful when it achieves this aima state of [[helplessness]].

The question of :3. In 1964, [[Lacan]] describes the [[end of analysis]] is therefore something more than whether a course of as the point when the [[analytic treatmentanalysand]] has or has not achieved its aim; it is a question of whether or not "traverses the radical [[treatmentfantasy]] has reached its logical end-point."<ref>{{S11}} p. 273</ref>

====True Speech and Mortality====* the [[Lacananalyst]] conceives -- the "[[loss of being]]" ([[French]]: ''[[désêtre]]'') of this end-point in various waysthe [[analyst]].

l. In the early 1950s, the The [[end of analysisanalyst]] is described as "reduced -- from the advent [[discourse|position]] of the [[subject-supposed-to-know]] -- to a true speech and mere [[surplus]], a [[objet petit a]], the realisation by [[cause]] of the subject of his history."<ref>{{E}} p.88</ref> (see [[speechanalysand]]'s [[desire]]).

<blockquote>"The ====Passage from Analysand to Analyst====For [[subjectLacan]] ... begins , the [[end of analysis by speaking about himself without speaking ]] is also the passage from [[analysand]] to you, or by speaking [[analyst]] -- for all [[psychoanalysts]] must undergo [[analytic treatment]] from beginning to you without speaking about himself. When he can speak end before [[being]] allowed to you about himself, the analysis will be over."<ref>{{Ec}} p.373, n[[practice]] as [[analysts]]. 1</ref></blockquote>

The Since [[Lacan]] argues that all [[psychoanalysts]] should have experienced the [[process]] of [[analytic treatment]] from beginning to end, the [[end of analysis]] is also described as coming the passage from [[analysand]] to terms with one's own [[mortalityanalyst]].<ref>{{E}} p.104-5</ref>

====Anxiety and Abandonment====2. In 1960, [[Lacan]] describes the [[end <blockquote>"The true termination of an analysis]] as a state of [[anxiety]] and abandonment, " is therefore no more and compares it no less than that which "prepares you to the [[helplessness]] of the human [[infant]]become an analyst."<ref>{{S7}} p.303</ref></blockquote>

===Misconceptions=Traversal of ======Identification with the FantasyAnalyst====3. In 1964 he describes it as the point when the [[analysandLacan]] has "criticizes those [[traversepsychoanalysts]]d who describe the radical [[fantasyend of analysis]] in terms of [[identification]]."<ref>{{S11}} p.273</ref> (see with the [[fantasyanalyst]]).

====Identification with the Sinthome====4. In the last decade of his teachingFor [[Lacan]], it is not only possible, he describes the but necessary to go beyond [[end of analysisidentification]] as ", for otherwise it is not [[identificationpsychoanalysis]] with the ''but [[sinthomesuggestion]]''", and as "knowing what to do with -- which is the sinthome." (see ''antithesis of [[sinthomepsychoanalysis]]'').

For [[Lacan]], this erroneous view is based on a misunderstanding of [[transference]] --as a kind of [[illusion]] which can be transcended --which overlooks the [[symbolic]] [[nature]] of [[transference]] -- as an essential [[structure]] of [[speech]].

===Stages=Other Misconceptions====The [[end of analysis]] does not involve:

* the strengthening the [[Lacanego]]* the [[adaptation]] to [[reality]]* the [[disappearance]] conceives of this end-point in various ways:the [[symptom]]* the [[cure]] of an underlying disease (e.g.''[[neurosis]]'')

:1. In the early 1950s, the [[end of analysis]] is described as "the advent of a true speech and the realisation by the subject of his history."<ref>{{E}} p.88</ref> (see [[speech]]). :<blockquote>"The [[subject]] ... begins the analysis by speaking about himself without speaking to you, or by speaking to you without speaking about himself. When he can speak to you about himself, the analysis will be over."<ref>{{Ec}} p.373, n. 1</ref></blockquote> :The [[end of analysis]] is also described as coming to terms with one's own [[mortality]].<ref>{{E}} p.104-5</ref> :2. In 1960, For [[Lacan]] describes the [[end of analysis]] as a state of [[anxiety]] and abandonment, and compares it to the [[helplessness]] of the human [[infant]]. :3. In 1964 he describes it as the point when the [[analysand]] has "[[traverse]]d the radical [[fantasy]]."<ref>{{S11}} p.273</ref> (see [[fantasy]]). :4. In the last decade of his teaching, he describes the end of analysis as "[[identification]] with the ''[[sinthome]]''", and as "knowing what to do with the sinthome." (see ''[[sinthome]]'').          ---- Common to all these formulations is the idea that the end of analysis involves a change in the [[subjective position]] of the [[analysand]] (the analysand's '[[subjective destitution]]'), and a corresponding change in the position of the [[analyst]] (the loss of [[being]] [Fr. ''désêtre''] of the analyst, the fall of the analyst from the position of the [[subject-supposed-to-know]]).  At the end of the analysis, the analyst is reduced to not essentially a mere [[surplus]], a pure [[objet petit a]], the [[cause of desiretreatment|cause of the analysand's desire]]. Since Lacan argues that all psychoanalysts should have experienced the [[therapeutic process]] of analytic [[treatment]] from beginning to end, the end of analysis is also the passage from [[analysand]] to [[analyst]].  "The true termination of an analysis" is therefore no more and no less than that which "prepares you to become an analyst."<ref>{{S7}} p.303</ref> In 1967, Lacan introduced the procedure of the [[pass]] as but rather a means of testifying to the end of one's analysis. By means of this procedure, Lacan hoped to avoid the dangers of regarding the end of analysis as a quasi-mystical, ineffable experience. Such a view is antithetical to psychoanalysis, which is all about putting things into words. Lacan criticises those [[psychoanalystsearch]]s who have seen the end of analysis in terms of for [[identificationtruth]] with the analyst.  In opposition to this view of psychoanalysis, Lacan states that the "crossing of the plane of identification is possible."<ref>{{S11}} p.273</ref> Not only is it possible to go beyond identification, but it is necessary, for otherwise it is not psychoanalysis but suggestion, which is the antithesis of psychoanalysis; "the fundamental mainspring of the analytic operation is the maintenance of the distance between the I - identification - and the a."<ref>{{S11}} p.273</ref> Lacan also rejects the idea that the end of analysis involves the 'liquidation' of the [[transference]].<ref>{{S11}} 267</ref> The idea that the transference can be 'liquidated' is based on a misunderstanding of the nature of the transference, according to which the transference is viewed as a kind of [[illusion]] which can be transcended.  Such a view is erroneous because it entirely overlooks the [[symbolic]] nature of the transference; transference is part of the essential [[structure]] of [[speech]]. Although analytic treatment involves the resolution of the particular transference relationship established with the analyst, transference itself still subsists after the end of analysis.  Other misconceptions of the end of analysis which Lacan rejects are: "strengthening the ego", "adaptation to reality" and "happiness".  The end of analysis is not the disappearance of the [[symptom]], nor the [[cure]] of an underlying disease (e.g. [[neurosis]]), since analysis is not essentially a therapeutic process but a search for [[truth]], and the truth is not always beneficial.<ref>{{S17}} p.122</ref> <ref>54</ref>
