Before 1967 [[Lacan]] refers to the one who is "in" [[psychoanalytic treatment]] as the "[[patient]]" ([[Fr]]. ''[[patient]]'') or the "[[subject]]", or uses the technical term [[analysand|''(psych)analysé'']].

However, in 1967, [[Lacan]] introduces the etrm term [[analysand|''(psych)analysant'']], based on the [[English]] term '"[[analysand|(psycho)analysand]]".<ref>{{Lacan}} 1967. p.18</ref>

[[Lacan]] refers this term befcausebecause, being derived from the gerund, it indicates that the one who lies on the counch is the one who does most of the work.

This contrasts with the old term [[analysand|''(psych)analysé'']] which, being derived from the passive participle, suggests either a less active participation in the [[treatment|analytic process]], or that the [[treatment|analytic process]] has finished. In [[Lacan]]'s view, the [[analysand]] is not 'analysed' by the [[analyst]]; it is the analysand who analyzes and the task end of the [[analystanalysis|finished]] is to help him to analyze well.
