==Various formulationsJacques Lacan==[[Lacan]] conceives of 's answer is that [[psychoanalytic treatment]] is a [[progress|logical process]] with a beginning and an end-point, designated as the "[[end of analysis]] in various ways".

===Aim===The [[Lacanend of analysis|''end'' of analysis]] describes must be distinguished from the ''[[end End of analysis|aim]]'' of [[psychoanalytic treatment]] in various ways.

:1. In the early 1950s, The [[Lacanend of analysis|aim]] describes the of [[end of analysistreatment]] as "is to lead the advent of a true [[speechanalysand]] and the realization by to articulate the '''[[subjecttruth]] of his ''' [[historyabout]]" -- that is, as coming to terms with one's own his or her [[death|mortalitydesire]].<ref>{{E}} p.88</ref>

:<blockquote>"The While not all [[subjecttreatment|analyses]] ... begins the analysis by speaking about himself without speaking are carried through to youtheir [[progress|conclusion]], or by speaking to you without speaking about himself. When he can speak to you about himself, the any [[treatment|analysis will ]] -- however incomplete -- may be over."<ref>{{Ec}} p.373, nregarded as successful when it achieves this [[end of analysis|aim]]. 1</ref></blockquote>

:2. In 1960, [[Lacan]] describes The question of the [[end of analysis]] as is therefore something more than whether a state of [[anxietytreatment|course]] and of [[anxietytreatment|abandonmentanalytic treatment]] -- that has or has not achieved its aim; it is, as a state question of whether or not the [[helplessnesstreatment]] has reached its [[logical]] [[End of analysis|end-point]].

===Definition===[[Lacan]] conceives of this [[End of analysis|end-point]] in various ways. :1. In the early 1950s, [[Lacan]] describes the [[end of analysis]] as "the advent of a [[true]] [[speech]] and the realization by the [[subject]] of his [[history]]" -- that is, as coming to [[terms]] with one's own [[death|mortality]].<ref>{{E}} p. 88</ref> :<blockquote>"The [[subject]] ... begins the analysis by [[speaking]] about himself without speaking to you, or by speaking to you without speaking about himself. When he can [[speak]] to you about himself, the analysis will be over."<ref>{{Ec}} p. 373, n. 1</ref></blockquote> :2. In 1960, [[Lacan]] describes the [[end of analysis]] as a [[state]] of [[anxiety]] and [[anxiety|abandonment]] -- that is, as a state of [[helplessness]]. :3. In 1964, [[Lacan]] describes the [[end of analysis]] as the point when the [[analysand]] "traverses the radical [[fantasy]]."<ref>{{S11}} p.273</ref>

The ====Passage from Analysand to Analyst====For [[Lacan]], the [[end of analysis]] involves two fundamental changes in is also the respective subjective positions of passage from [[analysand]] to [[analyst]] -- for all [[psychoanalysts]] must undergo [[analytic treatment]] from beginning to end before [[being]] allowed to [[practice]] as [[analysts]].

* Since [[Lacan]] argues that all [[psychoanalysts]] should have experienced the [[analysandprocess]] of [[analytic treatment]] -- from beginning to end, the "[[subjective destitutionend of analysis]]" of is also the passage from [[analysand]]to [[analyst]].

* the [[analyst]] -- the <blockquote>"[[loss The true termination of being]]an analysis" is therefore no more and no less than that which " ([[Fr]]prepares you to become an analyst. ''[[désêtre]]'') of the [[analyst]]"<ref>{{S7}} p. 303</ref></blockquote>

The [[analyst]] is reduced -- from the position of ===Misconceptions=======Identification with the Analyst====[[subject-supposed-to-knowLacan]] -- to a mere criticizes those [[surpluspsychoanalysts]], a [[objet petit a]], who describe the [[causeend of analysis]] in terms of the [[analysandidentification]]'s with the [[desireanalyst]].

==Passage from Analysand to Analyst==Transference====[[Lacan]] also criticizes those [[psychoanalysts]] who describe the [[end of analysis]] in terms of "liquidation" of the [[transference]].

For [[Lacan]], the this erroneous view is based on a misunderstanding of [[end transference]] -- as a kind of analysis[[illusion]] is also which can be transcended -- which overlooks the passage from [[analysandsymbolic]] to [[analystnature]] -- for all of [[psychoanalyststransference]] must undergo -- as an essential [[analytic treatmentstructure]] from beginning to end before ebing allowed to practice as of [[analystsspeech]].

Since [[Lacan]] argues that all [[psychoanalysts]] should have experienced the process of [[analytic treatment]] from beginning to end, the ====Other Misconceptions====The [[end of analysis]] is also the passage from [[analysand]] to [[analyst]]. does not involve:
