==Jacques Lacan==
==Early Work==
[[Lacan]] begins to use the term "[[demand]]" in 1958.
Although In the term "[[demandseminar]]" only begins to figure prominently in of 1956-7, [[Lacan]]argues that the '''cry''' of the '''s work from 1958 on, related themes are already present in [[Seminar IVhelplessness|human infant]]''' -- its '''call''' (''l'appel'') to the 1956'''[[mother]]''' --7 seminaris not merely an [[instinct|instinctual signal]] but is "inserted in a [[synchronic]] [[world]] of cries organized in a symbolic [[system]]."<ref>{{S4}} p. 182, 188</ref>
It is in this In other [[seminarwords]] that , the [[Lacaninfant]] discusses the call (''l'appel''), the baby's cry to screams become organized in a [[linguistic]] [[structure]] long before the [[motherchild]]is capable of articulating recognizable words.<ref>{{S4}} p.182</ref>
==Need, Demand and Desire==It is the [[symbolic|symbolic nature]] of the infant's screams which forms the kernel of [[Lacan]] argues that this cry (''cri'') is not merely an s [[instinctualconcept]] of [[signaldemand]] but "is inserted , which Lacan introduces in 1958 in a synchronic world the context of cries organized in a symbolic system.<ref>{{S4}} phis [[distinction]] between [[need]], [[demand]] and [[desire]].188</ref>
In other words, ==Articulation of Need==Lacan argues that since the [[infant]]'is incapable of performing the specific actions that would [[satisfy]] its [[biological]] [[need]]s, it must articulate those [[need]]s screams become organized in a vocal [[form]] ([[linguisticdemand]] s) so that [[structureanother]] long before (the child is capable of articulating recognizable words[[mother]]) will perform the specific [[action]] instead.
The primary example of such a [[biological]] [[need]] is hunger, which the [[child]] articulates in a scream ([[demand]]) so that the [[mother]] will feed it.
--------------==Demand for the Other's Love==However, because the object]] which [[satisfies]] the [[child]]'s [[need]] is provided by another, it takes on the added [[significance]] of [[being]] a proof of the [[Other]]'s [[love]].
It is the symbolic nature of the infant's screams which forms thekernel of Lacan's concept of Accordingly [[demand, which Lacan introduces in 1958 ]] too acquires a [[double]] function: in the context of his distinction between addition to articualting a [[need]], it also becomes a [[demand and desire]] for [[love]].
Lacan argues that since And just as the [[symbolic]] function of the infant is incapable [[object]] as a proof of performingthe specific actions [[love]] overshadows its [[real]] function as that would satisfy its biological needswhich [[satisfies]] a [[need]], it must articulate those needs in vocal form so too the [[symbolic]] [[dimension]] of [[demand]] (demandsas a [[demand]] for [[love]]) so that another eclipses its real function (the motheras an articulation of [[need]]) will perform the specific action instead.
The primary example of such a biological need =Desire=It is hungerthis double function which gives [[birth]] to [[desire]], since while the [[need]]s which [[demand]] articulates may be [[satisfied]], the child articulates in craving for [[love]] is unconditional and [[insatiable]], and hence persists as a scream (Demand) so that leftover even after the mother will feed it[[need]]s have been satisfied; this leftover constitutes [[desire]].
---==Helplessness==[[Demand]] is thus intimately linked to the [[human]] [[subject]]'s initial [[helplessness]].
HoweverBy forcing the [[analysand]] to express himself entirely in [[speech]], because the object which satisfies [[treatment|psychoanalytic situation]] puts him back in the child's need is provided by another, it takes on the added significance of being a proof [[position]] of the Other's love[[helpless]] [[infant]], thus encouraging [[regression]].
Accordingly <blockquote>"Through the mediation of the demand too acquires a double function: in addition toarticualting a need, it also becomes a the [[whole]] [[past]] opens up [[right]] to early infancy. [[The Subject|The subject]] has never done anything other than demand for love, he could not have survived otherwise, an we just follow on from there."<ref>{{E}} p.254</ref></blockquote>
And just as ==Analysand==However, while the symbolic funciton [[speech]] of the object as [[analysand]] is itself already a proof of love overshadows its real funciton as that which satisfies [[demand]] (for a needreply), so too the symbolic dimension of this [[demand (as a ]] is underpinned by deeper [[demand for love) eclipses its real function ]]s (as to be [[cure]]d, to be revealed to himself, to become an articulation of need[[analyst]]).<ref>{{E}} p. 254</ref>
It is this double function which gives birth to desire, since while ==Analyst==The question of how the needs which demand articulates may be satisfied, the craving for love [[analyst]] engages with these [[demands]] is unconditional and insatiable, and hence persists as a leftover even after the neeeds have been satisfied; this leftover constitutes desirecrucial.
--------------Certainly the [[analyst]] does not attempt to gratify the [[analysand]]'s [[demand]]s, but nor is it simply a question of [[frustration|frustrating]] [[them]].
Demand is thus intimately linked to ==Development==In 1961, [[Lacan]] rethinks the human subject's initial helplessnessvarious [[stages]] of [[libidinal]] organisation as forms of [[demand]].
By forcing The [[development|oral phase]] of [[development]] is constituted by a [[demand]] (made by the analysand [[subject]]) to express himself entirely in speech, the psychoanalytic situation puts him back in the position of be fed (which is a [[demand]] made by the helpless infant, thus encouraging regression[[subject]]).
<blockquote>Through In the [[development|anal stage]], on the mediation other hand, it is not a question of the [[subject]]'s [[demand]], but the whole past opens up right to early infancy. The subject has never done anything other than [[demand, he could not ahve survived otherwise, an we just follow on from there]] of the [[Other]] (the parent who disciplines the child in potty-[[training]]).<ref>{{ES8}} p.254238-46, 269</ref></blockquote>
-----In both of these [[development|pregenital stage]]s the [[satisfaction]] of [[demand]] eclipses [[desire]]; only in the [[genital stage]] does [[desire]] comes to be fully constituted.<ref>{{S8}} p. 270</ref>
However, while the speech of the analysand is itself already a demand (for a reply), this demand is underpinned by deeper demands (to be cured, to be revealed to himself, to become an analyst).<ref>==See Also=={{ESee}}* [[Analysand]]* [[Analyst]]||* [[Biology]]* [[Development]]||* [[Desire]]* [[Love]]||* [[Mother]]* [[Need]]||* [[Other]]* [[Speech]]||* [[Structure]]* [[Treatment]]{{Also}} p.254</ref>
The question of how the analyst engages with these deamdns is crucial.==References==<div style="font-size:11px" class="references-small"><references/></div>
Certainly the analyst doe snot attempt togratify the analysand's demands, but nor is it simply a question of frustrating them.[[Category:Psychoanalysis]][[Category:Jacques Lacan]][[Category:Dictionary]][[Category:Treatment]][[Category:Practice]][[Category:Concepts]][[Category:Terms]]{{OK}}
