===Definition===
[[Lacan]] conceives of this [[End of analysis|end-point]] in various ways.
:1. In the early 1950s, [[Lacan]] describes the [[end of analysis]] as "the advent of a [[true]] [[speech]] and the realization by the [[subject]] of his [[history]]" -- that is, as coming to [[terms]] with one's own [[death|mortality]].<ref>{{E}} p. 88</ref>
==Subjective Destitution==:<blockquote>"The [[subject]] ... begins the analysis by [[speaking]] about himself without speaking to you, or by speaking to you without speaking about himself. When he can [[speak]] to you about himself, the analysis will be over."<ref>{{Ec}} p. 373, n. 1</ref></blockquote>
The :2. In 1960, [[Lacan]] describes the [[end of analysis]] involves two fundamental changes in the respective subjective positions as a [[state]] of [[anxiety]] and [[anxiety|abandonment]] -- that is, as a state of [[helplessness]].
* :3. In 1964, [[Lacan]] describes the [[analysandend of analysis]] -- as the point when the "[[subjective destitutionanalysand]]" of traverses the radical [[analysandfantasy]]."<ref>{{S11}} p. 273</ref>
* :4. In the final decade of his teaching, [[analystLacan]] -- describes the "[[loss end of beinganalysis]]as an " ([[Fridentification]]. with the ''[[désêtresinthome]]'') of the [[analyst]]."
The [[analyst]] is reduced -- from the position ====Position of Analysand and Analyst====In general, the [[subject-supposed-to-know]] -- to a mere [[surplus]], a [[objet petit aend of analysis]], involves two fundamental changes in the respective [[causediscourse|subjective positions]] of the [[analysand]]'s [[desire]].
* the [[analysand]] -- the "[[subjective destitution]]" of the [[analysand]], and
==Passage from Analysand to Analyst==* the [[analyst]] -- the "[[loss of being]]" ([[French]]: ''[[désêtre]]'') of the [[analyst]].
For The [[Lacananalyst]], is reduced -- from the [[end of analysisdiscourse|position]] is also of the passage from [[analysandsubject-supposed-to-know]] -- to a mere [[analystsurplus]], a [[objet petit a]] -- for all , the [[psychoanalystscause]] must undergo of the [[analytic treatmentanalysand]] from beginning to end before being allowed to practice as 's [[analystsdesire]].
Since ====Passage from Analysand to Analyst====For [[Lacan]] argues that , the [[end of analysis]] is also the passage from [[analysand]] to [[analyst]] -- for all [[psychoanalysts]] should have experienced the process of must undergo [[analytic treatment]] from beginning to end, the before [[end of analysisbeing]] is also the passage from allowed to [[analysandpractice]] to as [[analystanalysts]].
<blockquote>"The true termination Since [[Lacan]] argues that all [[psychoanalysts]] should have experienced the [[process]] of [[analytic treatment]] from beginning to end, the [[end of an analysis" ]] is therefore no more and no less than that which "prepares you also the passage from [[analysand]] to become an [[analyst]]."<ref>{{S7}} p.303</ref></blockquote>
<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>
===Misconceptions===
====Identification with the Analyst====
[[Lacan]] criticizes those [[psychoanalysts]] who describe the [[end of analysis]] in terms of [[identification]] with the [[analyst]].
For [[Lacan]], it is not only possible, but necessary to go beyond [[identification]], for otherwise it is not [[psychoanalysis]] but [[suggestion]] -- which is the antithesis of [[psychoanalysis]].
==Beyond identification with the analyst==Transference====[[Lacan]] also criticizes those [[psychoanalysts]] who describe the [[end of analysis]] in terms of "liquidation" of the [[transference]].
For [[Lacan]] criticizes those , this erroneous view is based on a misunderstanding of [[psychoanalyststransference]] who describe the [[end of analysis]] in terms -- as a kind of [[identificationillusion]] with which can be transcended -- which overlooks the [[analystsymbolic]]. For [[Lacannature]], it is not only possible, but necessary to go beyond of [[identificationtransference]], for otherwise it is not -- as an essential [[psychoanalysisstructure]] but [[suggestion]] -- which is the antithesis of [[psychoanalysisspeech]].
Although [[analytic treatment]] does involve the [[resolution]] of the [[particular]] ''[[transference|transference relationship]]'' established with the [[analyst]], [[transference]] itself still subsists after the [[end of analysis]].
====Other Misconceptions====
The [[end of analysis]] does not involve:
* the strengthening the [[ego]]
* the [[adaptation]] to [[reality]]
* the [[disappearance]] of the [[symptom]]
* the [[cure]] of an underlying disease (e.g.''[[neurosis]]'')
==Transference==For [[Lacan]], [[analysis]] is not essentially a [[treatment|therapeutic process]] but rather a [[search]] for [[truth]] -- and the [[truth]] is not always beneficial.<ref>{{S17}} p. 122</ref>
