======Jacques Lacan======
======Translation======
The English word "[[training]]" is used to translate two [[French]] terms used by [[Lacan]]: ''[[training|analyse didactique]]'' ("'''[[training analysis]]'''") and ''[[training|formation]]'' ("'''professional training'''").
== Training ====Therapeutic Analysis ======By the time [[Lacan]] began [[training]] as an [[analyst]], in the 1930s, it had become established [[practice]] in the [[[International Psychoanalytical Association]] ([[IPA]]) to make a distinction between "'''therapeutic analysis'''" and "'''training analysis'''" (this distinction is still maintained by the [[IPA ]] today). In the context of this distinction, the term "'''therapeutic analysis'''" refers to a course of [[analytic treatment]] entered into by the [[analysand]] for the purpose of treating certain [[symptom]]s, whereas the term "'''training analysis'''" refers exclusively to a course of [[analytic treatment]] entered into for the purpose of [[training]] as an [[analyst]].
Today, many [[Lacan]]ians have dispensed with both the term "[[training|therapeutic analysis]]" and the term "[[training|training analysis"there is only one kind of psychoanalysis, preferring to use the term "[[training |personal analysis]] (a term [[Lacan]] himself uses occasionally) to designate any course of [[analytic treatment]]."<ref>{{S11}} p. 274</ref>
For [[Lacan]], this is not simply a process that [[analyst]]s go through at the beginning of their professional life, but an ongoing process.
However, this does not excuse the [[analyst]] from having to learn a lot more besides.
[[Lacan]]'s syllabus for the [[training|training of [[analyst]]s is very extensive, and includes [[literature]], [[mathematics]] and [[history]].<ref>{{E}} p. 144-5</ref>
The [[analyst]] must seek to become, as [[Freud]] was, "an encyclopedia of the arts and muses."<ref>{{E}} p. 169</ref>
This broad curriculum is evident in [[Lacan]]'s public [[seminar]] which is filled with incursions into [[philosophy]], [[topology]], [[logic]], [[literature]] and [[linguistics]] - all of which [[Lacan]] regards as essential to the [[training]] of [[analyst]]s.
=====Translation=====It is worth noting that the English term '"[[training]]' " is nuanced rather differently to the French term ''[[training|formation]]''.
Whereas the English term carries connotations of a formal programme, or a bureaucratic [[structure]], the [[French]] term (especially in [[Lacan]]'s work) connotes a process which alters the [[subject]] in the very kernel of his [[being]], and which cannot be regulated by set ritualistic procedures not guaranteed by a printed qualification.
