In ''Analysis Terminable and Interminable'', [[Freud]] asks:
<blockquote>"Is there such a thing as a natural end to an analysis?"<ref>{{F}} ''[[Analysis Terminable and Interminable]]''. 1937. [[SE]] XXIII p.219</ref></blockquote>
[[Lacan]]'s answer to this question is that it is indeed possible to speak of concluding an [[analysis]].
Although not all [[analyses]] are carried through to their conclusion, [[analytic treatment]] is a logical process which has an end, and [[Lacan]] designates this end-point by the term "[[end of analysis]]" ([[Fr]]. ''[[fin d'analyse]]'').
