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]]'').

The [[end of analysis|''end'' of analysis]] must be distinguished from the [[end of analysis|''aim'' of psychoanalytic treatment]].

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

[[Lacan]] conceives of this end-point in various ways.
