In <i>[[Le transfert]]</i> [[Lacan]] describes [[symbolic]] [[identification]] as [[identification]] with the [[signifier]]. Here, he examines the rapport of the [[subject]] to the [[signifier]]. In the [[three]] types of [[identification]] isolated by [[Freud]] in <i>[[Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego]]</i> (1921, S.E. XVIII), he finds:

# A [[primitive]] [[identification]] with the [[father]] as such based on a single feature: the [[matrix]] of the [[Ideal]]-of-the-Ego, a symbolic [[introjection]] of the [[father]]'s mark, "An [[identity]] of body [[links]] the [[Father]] of all [[times]] to all those who descend from Him."

# A [[regressive]] [[identification]] in [[love]] relations: the [[object]] refuses itself, therefore the [[subject]] [[identifies]] with the [[object]] (one centered around <i>[[objet a]]</i> and the [[phallus]]).

By asserting the [[identification]] of the [[signifier]] and the [[identification]] with the [[signifier]], [[Lacan]] brings [[about]] a new [[category]] consisting in the first two and centered on the rapport to the [[Father]] and to the [[phallus]]. It becomes crucial to institute the [[subject]] in his rapport to the [[signifier]] - to the [[signifier]] alone. To mark the [[difference]] between the preverbal and the [[verbal]] [[Lacan]] points at his dog, Justine, who has [[speech]] but not language: insofar as she speaks, she never takes him for an other, she is not capable of [[transference]] and lives in the [[demand]]. In "[[The agency of the letter in the unconscious or reason since Freud]]" (<i>[[Écrits: A Selection]]</i>) he refers to the [[language]] of the [[affect]] and of the [[body]] as the "nonhuman" aspect of those who "do not have [[language]]." The only salvation lies in "the signifying identification" where the preverbal is articulated within [[The Subject|the subject]]'s relation to the [[word]].
