"[[end of analysis]]" ([[Fr]]. '{{Top}}fin d'[[fin d'analyse]]''){{Bottom}}

In ''Analysis Terminable and Interminable'', ==Jacques Lacan==[[FreudLacan]] reflects upon whether it 's answer is ever possible to discusses the question of whether it is ever possible to conclude an that [[analysispsychoanalytic treatment]], or whether all is a [[analysesprogress|logical process]] are necessarily incomplete.<ref>{{F}} ''Analysis Terminable with a beginning and Interminable''. 1937. an end-point, designated as the "[[SEend of analysis]] XXIII p".211</ref>

===Aim===The [[Lacanend of analysis|''end'' of analysis]] must be distinguished from the ''[[End of analysis|aim]]'s answer to this question is that it is indeed possible to speak ' of concluding an [[analysispsychoanalytic treatment]].

Although not all The [[analysesend of analysis|aim]] are carried through to their conclusion, of [[analytic treatment]] is a logical process which has an end, and to lead the [[Lacananalysand]] designates this end-point by to articulate the term "'''[[end of analysistruth]]" (''' [[Frabout]]. ''his or her [[fin d'analysedesire]]'').

==The Aim question of Psychoanalytic Treatment==the [[end of analysis]] is therefore something more than whether a [[treatment|course]] of [[treatment|analytic treatment]] has or has not achieved its aim; it is a question of whether or not the [[treatment]] has reached its [[logical]] [[End of analysis|end-point]].

Given that many ===Definition===[[analysesLacan]] are broken off before the conceives of this [[end End of analysis|end-point]] is reached, the question arises as to whether such [[analyses]] can be considered successful or notin various ways.

To answer this question it is necessary to distinguish between :1. In the early 1950s, [[Lacan]] describes the [[end of analysis]] as "the advent of a [[true]] [[speech]] and the realization by the [[end subject]] of analysishis [[history]]" -- that is, as coming to [[terms]] with one's own [[death|aim of psychoanalytic treatmentmortality]]. <ref>{{E}} p. 88</ref>

:<blockquote>"The [[end of analysis|aim of psychoanalytic treatmentsubject]] is to lead ... begins the analysis by [[analysandspeaking]] about himself without speaking to articulate the you, or by speaking to you without speaking about himself. When he can [[truthspeak]] to you about his [[desire]]himself, the analysis will be over."<ref>{{Ec}} p. 373, n. 1</ref></blockquote>

Any :2. In 1960, [[Lacan]] describes the [[end of analysis]]as a [[state]] of [[anxiety]] and [[anxiety|abandonment]] -- that is, however incomplete, may be regarded as successful when it achieves this aima state of [[helplessness]].

The question of :3. In 1964, [[Lacan]] describes the [[end of analysis]] is therefore something more than whether a course of as the point when the [[analytic treatmentanalysand]] has or has not achieved its aim; it is a question of whether or not "traverses the radical [[treatmentfantasy]] has reached its logical end-point."<ref>{{S11}} p. 273</ref>

==Stages==Position of Analysand and Analyst====In general, the [[end of analysis]] involves two fundamental changes in the respective [[discourse|subjective positions]] of

* the [[Lacananalysand]] conceives -- the "[[subjective destitution]]" of this end-point in various ways:the [[analysand]], and

:1. In * the early 1950s, [[analyst]] -- the "[[end loss of analysisbeing]] is described as "([[French]]: ''[[désêtre]]'') of the advent of a true [[speechanalyst]] and the realisation by the subject of his history."<ref>{{E}} p.88</ref>

:<blockquote>"The [[analyst]] is reduced -- from the [[discourse|position]] of the [[subject-supposed-to-know]] ... begins the analysis by speaking about himself without speaking -- to youa mere [[surplus]], or by speaking to you without speaking about himself. When he can speak to you about himselfa [[objet petit a]], the analysis will be over."<ref>{{Ec}} p.373, n[[cause]] of the [[analysand]]'s [[desire]]. 1</ref></blockquote>

:The ====Passage from Analysand to Analyst====For [[Lacan]], the [[end of analysis]] is also described the passage from [[analysand]] to [[analyst]] -- for all [[psychoanalysts]] must undergo [[analytic treatment]] from beginning to end before [[being]] allowed to [[practice]] as coming to terms with one's own [[mortalityanalysts]].<ref>{{E}} p.104-5</ref>

:2. In 1960, Since [[Lacan]] describes argues that all [[psychoanalysts]] should have experienced the [[end of analysisprocess]] as a state of [[anxietyanalytic treatment]] and abandonmentfrom beginning to end, and compares it to the [[helplessnessend of analysis]] of is also the human passage from [[analysand]] to [[infantanalyst]].

:3. In 1964 he describes it as the point when the [[analysand]] has <blockquote>"The true termination of an analysis" is therefore no more and no less than that which "[[traverse]]d the radical [[fantasy]]prepares you to become an analyst."<ref>{{S11S7}} p.273303</ref></blockquote>

:4. In ===Misconceptions=======Identification with the last decade of his teaching, he describes Analyst====[[Lacan]] criticizes those [[psychoanalysts]] who describe the [[end of analysis as "[[identification]] with the ''in terms of [[sinthomeidentification]]''", and as "knowing what to do with the [[sinthomeanalyst]]."

Common to all these formulations is the idea that the ====Transference====[[end of analysisLacan]] involves a change in the also criticizes those [[subjective positionpsychoanalysts]] of who describe the [[analysand]] (the [[analysandend of analysis]]'s '[[subjective destitution]]'), and a corresponding change in the position terms of the [[analyst]] (the loss of [[being]] [[Fr]]. ''[[désêtre]]''] of the [[analyst]], the fall of the [[analyst]] from the position "liquidation" of the [[subject-supposed-to-knowtransference]]).

At the For [[end of analysisLacan]], the this erroneous view is based on a misunderstanding of [[analysttransference]] is reduced to -- as a mere kind of [[surplusillusion]], a pure which can be transcended -- which overlooks the [[objet petit asymbolic]], the [[cause nature]] of desire|cause [[transference]] -- as an essential [[structure]] of the analysand's desire[[speech]].

==Analytic Training==Other Misconceptions====The [[end of analysis]] does not involve:

Since * the strengthening the [[Lacanego]] argues that all psychoanalysts should have experienced * the process of [[analytic treatmentadaptation]] from beginning to end, [[reality]]* the [[end disappearance]] of analysisthe [[symptom]] is also * the passage from [[analysandcure]] to of an underlying disease (e.g.''[[analystneurosis]]. '')

<blockquote>"The true termination of an analysis" is therefore no more and no less than that which "prepares you to become an analyst."<ref>{{S7}} p.303</ref></blockquote> ==The Pass== In 1967, Lacan introduced the procedure of the [[pass]] as a means of testifying to the [[end of analysis]]. By means of this procedure, For [[Lacan]] hoped to avoid the dangers of regarding the [[end of analysis]] as a quasi-mystical, ineffable experience.  Such a view is antithetical to [[psychoanalysis]], which is all about putting things into words.  ==Identification with the Analyst==Lacan criticises those [[psychoanalysts]] who have seen the [[end of analysis]] in terms of [[identification]] with the [[analyst]].  In opposition to this view of [[psychoanalysis]], [[Lacan]] states that the "crossing of the plane of identification is possible."<ref>{{S11}} p.273</ref> Not only is it possible to go beyond [[identification]], but it is necessary, for otherwise it is not essentially a [[psychoanalysistreatment|therapeutic process]] but [[suggestion]], which is the antithesis of [[psychoanalysis]]. <blockquote>"The fundamental mainspring of the analytic operation is the maintenance of the distance between the I - identification - and the rather a."<ref>{{S11}} p.273</ref></blockquote>  =='Liquidation' of the Transference==Lacan also rejects the idea that the [[end of analysissearch]] involves the 'liquidation' of the [[transference]].<ref>{{S11}} 267</ref> The idea that the [[transference]] can be 'liquidated' is based on a misunderstanding of the nature of the [[transference]], according to which the [[transference]] is viewed as a kind of [[illusion]] which can be transcended.  Such a view is erroneous because it entirely overlooks the [[symbolic]] nature of the transference; transference is part of the essential [[structure]] of [[speech]].  Although [[analytic treatment]] involves the resolution of the particular [[transference]] relationship established with the [[analyst]], [[transference]] itself still subsists after the [[end of analysis]].  ==What it is not== Other misconceptions of the [[end of analysis]] which [[Lacan]] rejects are: "strengthening the ego", "adaptation to reality" and "happiness".  The [[end of analysis]] is not the disappearance of the [[symptom]], nor the [[cure]] of an underlying disease (e.g. [[neurosis]]), since [[analysis]] is not essentially a therapeutic process but a search for [[truth]], -- and the [[truth]] is not always beneficial.<ref>{{S17}} p.122</ref>
