  The phrase the '"[[desire of the analyst]]' " is an ambiguous one that seems to oscillate in [[Lacan]]'s [[Works of Jacques Lacan|work ]] between two meanings:
==A Desire Attributed to the Analyst==
The [[analyst]] is therefore not only a [[subject supposed to know]] but also a "[[subject]] supposed to [[desire]]."
Thus the phrase "the [[analyst]]'s [[desire]]" does not refer to the real [[desire]] in the [[analyst]]'s [[psyche]], but to the [[desire]] which the [[analysand]] attributes to him.
Thus the phrase "===Psychoanalytic Treatment===The task of the [[analyst]]'s throughout the [[desiretreatment]]" does not refer is to make it impossible for the real [[desireanalysand]] in to be sure that he knows what the [[analyst]]'s wants from him; the [[psycheanalyst]], but to the [[must make sure that his desire]] which "remains an x" for the [[analysand]] attributes to him.<ref>{{S11}} p. 274</ref>
===Treatment===The task of In this way the [[analyst]] throughout 's supposed [[desire]] becomes the driving force of the [[treatmentanalytic]][[process] is to make ], since it impossible for keeps the [[analysand]] working, trying to be sure that he knows discover what the [[analyst]] wants from him; the [[analyst]] must make sure that his desire "remains an x" for the [[analysand]].<ref>{{S11}} p.274</ref>
In this way the [[analyst]]'s supposed [[desire]] becomes the driving force of the [[analytic]] [[process]], since it keeps the [[analysand]] working, trying to discover what the [[analyst]] wants from him; <blockquote>"the The [[desire]] of the [[analyst]] is ultimately that which operates in [[psychoanalysis]]."<ref>{{Ec}} p.854</ref></blockquote>
By presenting the [[analysand]] with an enigmatic [[desire]], the [[analyst]] occupies the position of the [[Other]], of whom the [[subject]] asks '''[[Che vuoi?]]''' ("What do you want from me?"), with the result that the [[subject]]'s [[fundamental fantasy]] emerges in the [[transference]].
==A desire proper Desire Proper to the analystAnalyst==The other sense of the phrase the '"[[desire of the analyst]]' " refers to the [[desire]] which must animate the [[analyst]] in the way he directs [[treatment]].
===What It Is Not===
This is easier to define negatively than positively.
It is certainly not a [[desire]] for the impossible.<ref>{{S7}} p.300</ref> Nor is it a [[desire]] to "do good" or "to cure"; on the contrary, it is "a non-desire to cure."<ref>{{S7}} p. 218</ref>
Nor It is it not a [[desire to 'do good' or 'to cure'; on ]] that the contrary, it is "a non-desire to cure."<ref>{{S7}} p.218</ref>[[analysand]] [[identification|identify]] with the [[analyst]]:
It is not a [[desire]] that the [[analysand]] identify with the [[analyst]]; <blockquote>"the The [[analyst]]'s [[desire]] . . . tends in a direction that is the exact opposite of [[identification]]."<ref>{{S11}} p.274</ref></blockquote>
===Truth of Desire===
Rather than [[identification]], the [[analyst]] [[desire]]s that the [[analysand]]'s own unique [[truth]] emerge in the [[treatment]], a [[truth]] that is absolutely different to that of the [[analyst]]; the [[analyst]]'s [[desire]] is thus "a desire to obtain absolute difference."<ref>{{S11}} p.276</ref>
How is it that the [[analyst]] comes to be guided by the [[desire]] which is proper to his function?
===Training===
According to [[Lacan]], this can only occur by means of a [[training analysis]].
