The term 'treatment' (cure) designates the practice of [[psychoanalysis]] as opposed to the theory of psychoanalysis.
Although The term '[[treatment]]' (''cure'') denotes the term was inherited by [[practice]] (rather than the [[theory]]) of [[psychoanalysis from medicine, it has acquired a specific meaning in Lacanian psychoanalytic theory which is quite different from the way it is understood in medicine]].
In particular(Although the term was inherited by [[psychoanalysis]] from medicine, it has acquired a specific meaning in Lacanian psychoanalytic theory which is quite different from the aim of psycho-analytic treatment way it is not seen by Lacan as 'healing' or 'curing' people understood in thesense of producing a perfectly healthy psychemedicine. )
The clinical structures of neurosis, psychosis and perversion are seen as essentially 'incurable', and the aim of analytic [[treatment ]] is simply not to lead '[[cure]]' the analysand to articulate his truth[[patient]].
Lacan argues that the treatment is a process with a definite directionThe [[clinical structure]]s of [[neurosis]], a structural progression with a beginning, middle [[psychosis]] and end (see [[end of analysisperversion]])are seen as essentially 'incurable'.
The beginning, or 'point [[aim]] of entry into the analytic situation', [[treatment]] is a contract, or'pact', between analyst and analysand which includes to lead the [[analysand's agreement ]] to abide by the fundamental rulearticulate his [[truth]].
Following the initial consultationAccording to [[Lacan]], [[psychoanalytic]] [[treatment]] is a process with a definite direction, a series of face-to-face preliminary interviews take place[[structural]] [[progress]]ion with a beginning, middle and end.
These preliminary interviews have several aimsAccording to [[Lacan]], [[psychoanalytic]] [[treatment]] is a process consisting of a beginning, middle and [[end of analysis|end]].
Firstly, they enable The beginning (or "point of entry into the analytic situation") is a properly psychoanalyticsymptom to be constituted in place of contract (or 'pact') between the vague collection of complaints oftenbrought by [[analyst]] and the patient[[analysand]].
Secondly, they allow time for The [[analysand]] agrees to abide by the transference todevelop[[fundamental rule]].
ThirdlyFollowing the initial consultation, they permit the analyst to ascertain whether or not there isreally a demand for psychoanalysis, and also series of face-to hypothesise about the clinicalstructure of the analysand-face preliminary interviews take place.
Firstly, they enable a properly [[psychoanalytic]] [[symptom]] to be constituted in place of the vague collection of complaints often brought by the [[patient]].
Secondly, they allow [[time]] for the [[transference]] to develop.
After the preliminary interviewsThirdly, they permit the treatment [[analyst]] to ascertain whether or not there is no longer conducted face really a demand for [[psychoanalysis]], and also to face, but with the analysand reclining on a couch while hypothesise about the analyst sits behind him, out [[clinical structure]] of the [[analysand's field of vision (the couch is not used in the treatment of psychotic patients)]].
As he free associatesAfter the preliminary interviews, the [[treatment]] is no longer conducted face to face, but with the [[analysand works through ]] reclining on a couch while the signifiers that have determined [[analyst]] sits behind him in his history, and out of the [[analysand]]'s field of vision (the couch is driven by not used in the very process of speech itself to articulate something treatment of his desirepsychotic patients).
This is a dynamic process which involves a conflict between a force which drives the treatment on (see As he [[transferencefree associates]], the [[desire of analysand]] works through the analyst[[signifier]]) s that have determined him in his [[history]], and an opposing force which blocks is driven by the very process (seee of [[resistancespeech]] itself to articulate something of his [[desire]]).
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 (seee [[resistance]]).  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. ==References==<references/>
