{{Top}}fin d'[[analyse]]{{Bottom}} ==Psychoanalytic TreatmentSigmund Freud==
In ''[[Analysis Terminable and Interminable]]'', [[Freud]] asks:
<blockquote>"Is there such a [[thing ]] as a [[natural ]] end to an analysis?"<ref>{{F}} ''[[Sigmund Freud:Bibliography|Analysis Terminable and Interminable]]''. , 1937. [[SE]] XXIII p.219</ref></blockquote>
==Jacques Lacan==[[Lacan]] answers 's answer is that it [[psychoanalytic treatment]] is indeed possible to speak of concluding a [[progress|logical process]] with a beginning and an end-point, designated as the "[[end of analysis]]".
:1. In the early 1950s, <blockquote>"The [[Lacansubject]] describes ... begins the [[end of analysis]] as "the advent of a true [[speech]] and the realization by the [[subjectspeaking]] of his [[history]]" -- that isabout himself without speaking to you, as coming or by speaking to terms with one's own you without speaking about himself. When he can [[death|mortalityspeak]]to you about himself, the analysis will be over."<ref>{{EEc}} p.88373, n. 1</ref></blockquote>
:<blockquote>"The 2. In 1960, [[subjectLacan]] ... begins describes the [[end of analysis by speaking about himself without speaking to you]] as a [[state]] of [[anxiety]] and [[anxiety|abandonment]] -- that is, 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, nas a state of [[helplessness]]. 1</ref></blockquote>
:4. In the final decade of his teaching, [[Lacan]] describes the [[end of analysis]] as an "[[identification]] with the ''[[sinthome]]''."
===Subjective Destitution=Position of Analysand and Analyst==== The In general, the [[end of analysis]] involves two fundamental changes in the respective subjective positions of * the [[analysand]] -- the "[[discourse|subjective destitutionpositions]]" of the [[analysand]]
* the [[analystanalysand]] -- the "[[loss of beingsubjective destitution]]" ([[Fr]]. ''[[désêtre]]'') of the [[analystanalysand]], and
<blockquote>"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></blockquote>
===Misconceptions===
[[Lacan]] also criticizes those [[psychoanalysts]] who describe the [[end of analysis]] in terms of "liquidation" of the [[transference]].
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]].
Although [[analytic treatment]] does involve the [[resolution ]] of the [[particular ]] ''[[transference|transference relationship]]'' established with the [[analyst]], [[transference]] itself still subsists after the [[end of analysis]].
====Other Misconceptions====
The [[end of analysis]] does not involve:
* the strengthening the [[ego]]* the [[adaptation ]] to [[reality]]* the [[disappearance ]] of the [[symptom]]* the [[cure ]] of an underlying disease (e.g.''[[neurosis]]'')
For [[Lacan]], [[analysis]] is not essentially a [[treatment|therapeutic process ]] but rather a [[search ]] for [[truth]] -- and the [[truth]] is not always beneficial.<ref>{{S17}} p.122</ref>
