==Practice of ==Psychoanalysis====The term "[[treatment]]" designates the ''[[practice]] '' of [[psychoanalysis]] -- as opposed to the ''[[theory]] '' of [[psychoanalysis]].
====Aim of Treatment====In [[particular]], the [[end of analysis|aim ]] of [[treatment|psychoanalytic treatment]] is not seen [[Lacan]] as to "healingheal" or "curingcure" people the [[analysand]], in the [[sense ]] of producing developing a perfectly healthy [[psyche]].
===Beginning=Analytic Process====The beginning, or "point of entry into the analytic situation", is a contract, or "pact", between the [[analysttreatment]] and the is a [[analysandprogress|process]] which includes the with a definite direction, a ''[[analysandstructural]]'s agreement to abide by the [[fundamental ruleprogress]]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).
==Desire of the Analyst and Resistance===End=====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]]).
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.
