[[Transference]] is implicit in the [[speech act]], which involves an exchange of [[sign]]s that transforms the speaker and listener: In its essence, the efficacious [[transference]] which we're considering is quite simply the [[speech]] [[act]].
Each time a man speaks to another in an authentic and full manner, there is, in the true sense, [[transference]], [[transference|symbolic ]] [[transference]] - something which takes place which changes the nature of the two beings present.<ref>{{S1}} p. 109</ref>
In the [[seminar]] of the following year, he continues to elaborate on the [[symbolic]] nature of [[transference]], which he [[identifies]] with the [[compulsion to repeat]], the [[insistence]] of the [[symbolic]] determinants of the [[subject]].<ref>{{S2}} p. 210-11</ref>
This is to be distinguished from the [[imaginary]] aspect of [[transference]], namely, the [[affect]]ive reactions of [[love]] and [[aggressivity]].
In this distinction between the [[symbolic]] and [[imaginary]] aspects of [[transference]], [[Lacan]] provides a useful way of understanding the paradoxical function of the [[transference]] in [[psychoanalytic treatment]]; in its [[symbolic]] aspect ([[repetition]]) it helps the [[treatment]] [[progress]] by revealing the [[signifiers]] of the subject's [[history]], while in its [[imaginary]] aspect ([[love]] and [[hate]]) it acts as a [[resistance]].<ref>{{S4}} p. 135; {{S8}} p. 204</ref>
[[Lacan]]'s next approach to the subject of [[transference]] is in the eighth year of his [[seminar]],<ref>Lacan, 1960-1</ref> entitled simply "[[The Transference]]".
According to this view, [[transference]] is the attribution of [[knowledge]] to the [[Other]], the supposition that the [[Other]] is a [[subject supposed to know|subject who knows]]:
<blockquote>"As soon as the subject who is supposed to know exists somewhere . . . there is transference."<ref>{{S11}} p. 232</ref></blockquote>
Although the [[existence]] of the [[transference]] is a necessary condition of [[psychoanalytic treatment]], it is not sufficient in itself; it is also necessary that the analyst deal with the [[transference]] in a unique way.
