==Various formulations==
[[Lacan]] conceives of the [[end of analysis]] in various ways.
The [[analyst]] is reduced -- from the position of the [[subject-supposed-to-know]] -- to a mere [[surplus]], a [[objet petit a]], the [[cause]] of the [[analysand]]'s [[desire]].
==Passage from Analysand to Analyst==
Since [[Lacan]] argues that all [[psychoanalysts]] should have experienced the process of [[analytic treatment]] from beginning to end, the [[end of analysis]] is also the passage from [[analysand]] to [[analyst]].
<blockquote>'The true termination of an analysis' is therefore no more and no less than that which 'prepares you to become an analyst.'<ref>{{S7}} p.303</ref></blockquote>
