Before 1967 [[Lacan]] refers to the one who is "in" [[psychoanalytic treatment]] as the "[[patient]]" or the "[[subject]]", or uses the technical term [[analysand|''analysé'']].  However, in 1967, [[Lacan]] introduces the term [[analysand|''analysant'']], based on the [[English]] term "[[analysand|analysand]]".<ref>{{Lacan}} 1967. p.18</ref>  [[Lacan]] refers this term because, [[being ]] derived from the gerund, it indicates that the one who lies on the counch couch is the one who does most of the [[work]].  This contrasts with the old term [[analysand|''analysé'']] which, being derived from the [[passive ]] participle, suggests either a less [[active ]] [[participation ]] in the [[treatment|analytic process]], or that the [[treatment|analytic process]] has [[end of analysis|finished]].  In [[Lacan]]'s view, the [[analysand]] is not "[[treatment|analysed]]" by the [[analyst]]; it is the [[analysand]] who [[treatment|analyze]]s and the task of the [[analyst]] is to [[help ]] him to [[treatment|analyze]] well.
