==A Desire Attributed to the Analyst===Jacques Lacan=====As well as attributing The term "[[knowledge]] to desire of the [[analyst]]" is ambiguous, so also the and oscillates between two [[analysandmeanings]] attributes in [[desireLacan]] to the 's [[analystJacques Lacan:Bibliography|work]].
The [[analyst]] is therefore a "'''[[subject supposed to know|subject supposed to desire]]'''" (as well as a "[[subject supposed to know]]").
=====Psychoanalytic Treatment=====The task of the [[analyst]] throughout the In [[psychoanalytic treatment]] is to make it impossible for the [[analysand]] to be sure that he knows 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>
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 [[fantasy|fundamental fantasy]] emerges in the [[transference]].
====Definition====
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>
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>
====Ethics====It is in the sense of a "a '''[[Desire of the analyst|desire]] proper to the [[analyst]]'''" that [[Lacan]] wishes to locate the question of the [[analyst]]'s [[desire]] at the heart of the [[ethics ]] of [[psychoanalysis]].
====Training====How is it that the [[analyst]] comes to be guided by the [[desire]] which is proper to his function?
According to [[Lacan]], this can only occur by means of a [[training|training analysis]].
The essential requirement, the condition ''sine qua non'' for becoming an [[analyst]], is to undergo [[treatment|analytic]] [[treatment]] oneself.
In the course of this [[treatment]] there will be a mutation in the [[economy ]] of [[desire]] in the [[analyst]]|analyst-to-be]]; his [[desire]] will be [[structure|restructured]], reorganised[[structure|reorganized]].<ref>{{S8}} p.221-2</ref>
Only if this happens will he be able to function properly as an [[analyst]].
