When understood in this sense, Lacan not the basis of the analytic process. Reminiscence is also linked by Lacan to reaffirms the importance of regression in psychoanalytic treatment, arguing the Platonic theory of knowledge- that regression to the anal stage, for example, is so important that no analysis Recollection in the treatment involves the patient tracing the master sig- which has not encountered this can be called complete (S8, 242). nifiers of his life, or, in other words, 'the [[Real]]ization by the subject of his history in his relation to a future' (E, 88).
