==Jacques Lacan==
Although the The term was inherited by [[psychoanalysis]] from medicine, it has acquired a specific [[meaning]] in [[Lacan]]ian [[psychoanalytic theory]] which is quite different from the way it is understood in [[psychiatry|medicine]].
==Aim The specific meaning of Treatment==In particular, the aim of term in [[psychoanalytic treatmenttheory]] different from the way it is not seen [[Lacan]] as "healing" or "curing" people understood in the sense of producing a perfectly healthy [[psychepsychiatry|medicine]].
==Clinical Structures "Incurable"==The [[clinical structure]]s of [[neurosis]]term, inherited by [[psychosispsychoanalysis]] and from [[perversionpsychiatry|medicine]] are seen as essentially "incurable," and has acquired a different meaning from the aim of [[analytic treatment]] is simply to lead the [[analysand]] to articulate his [[truth]]way it was understood.
==Structural Progression=Cure===Analytic Process==In particular, the [[Lacanend of analysis|aim]] argues that the of [[treatment|psychoanalytic treatment]] is a process with a definite direction, a not to "heal" or "cure" the [[structuralanalysand]] , in the sense of developing a perfectly healthy [[progresspsyche]]ion with a beginning, middle, and end.
[[Structure|Clinical structures]], such as [[neurosis]], [[psychosis]] and [[perversion]] are essentially "incurable." The [[end of analysis|aim]] of [[treatment|psychoanalytic treatment]] is to lead the [[analysand]] to articulate this [[truth]]. ===Structural Progression===The [[treatment]] is a [[progress|process]] with a definite direction, a ''[[structural]] [[progress]]ion'' with a beginning, middle, and end. ====Beginning====The ''beginning'', or "point of entry into the analytic situation", is a ''contract'', or "''pact''", between the [[analyst]] and the [[analysand]] which includes the [[analysand]]'s agreement to abide by the [[fundamental rule]].
Following the initial consultation, a series of face-to-face preliminary interviews take place.
These preliminary interviews have several aims.
# Firstly, they They enable a properly [[psychoanalytic]] [[symptom]] to be constituted in place of the vague collection of complaints often brought by the [[patient]]. # Secondly, they They allow [[time]] for the [[transference]] to develop. # Thirdly, they They permit the [[analyst]] to ascertain whether or not there is really a demand for [[psychoanalysis]], and also to hypothesize about the [[clinical]] [[structure]] of the [[analysand]].
====Middle====
After the preliminary interviews, the [[treatment]] is no longer conducted face to face, but with the [[analysand]] reclining on a couch while the [[analyst]] sits behind him, out of the [[analysand]]'s field of vision (the couch is not used in the [[treatment]] of [[psychotic]] [[patient]]s).
====Speech====
As he [[free associates]], the [[analysand]] works through the [[signifier]]s that have determined him in his [[history]], and is driven by the very process of [[speech]] itself to articulate something of his [[desire]].
===Desire of the Analyst and Resistance===
This is a dynamic process which involves a conflict between a force which drives the [[treatment]] on (see [[transference]], [[desire of the analyst]]) and an opposing force which blocks the process (see [[resistance]]).
==Analyst==
The [[analyst]]'s task is to direct this process (not to direct the [[patient]]), and to get the process going again when it gets stuck.
