==Various formulationsSigmund Freud==In ''[[LacanAnalysis Terminable and Interminable]] conceives of the '', [[Freud]] asks:<blockquote>"Is there such a [[thing]] as a [[natural]] end of to an analysis?"<ref>{{F}} ''[[Sigmund Freud:Bibliography|Analysis Terminable and Interminable]]'', 1937. [[SE]] in various waysXXIII p.219</ref></blockquote>

==Jacques Lacan==[[Lacan]] describes '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".

:1. In the early 1950s, [[Lacan]] describes the ===Aim===The [[end of analysis]] as "the advent |''end'' of a true [[speechanalysis]] and the realization by must be distinguished from the ''[[subject]] End of his [[historyanalysis|aim]]" -- that is, as coming to terms with one's own ' of [[death|mortalitypsychoanalytic treatment]].<ref>{{E}} p.88</ref>

:<blockquote>"The [[subjectend of analysis|aim]] of [[treatment]] ... begins is to lead the [[analysand]] to articulate the analysis by speaking '''[[truth]]''' [[about himself without speaking to you, ]] his 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, nher [[desire]]. 1</ref></blockquote>

:2. In 1960, While not all [[Lacantreatment|analyses]] describes the are carried through to their [[end of analysisprogress|conclusion]] as a state of [[anxiety]] and , any [[anxietytreatment|abandonmentanalysis]] -- that is, however incomplete -- may be regarded as a state of successful when it achieves this [[helplessnessend of analysis|aim]].

The question of the [[end of analysis]] is therefore something more than whether a [[treatment|course]] of [[treatment|analytic treatment]] has or has not achieved its aim; it is a question of whether or not the [[treatment]] 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 [[end analyst]] is reduced -- from the [[discourse|position]] of analysisthe [[subject-supposed-to-know]] -- to a mere [[surplus]] involves two fundamental changes in , a [[objet petit a]], the respective subjective positions [[cause]] of the [[analysand]]'s [[desire]].

* ====Passage from Analysand to Analyst====For [[Lacan]], the [[end of analysis]] is also the passage from [[analysand]] to [[analyst]] -- the "for all [[psychoanalysts]] must undergo [[analytic treatment]] from beginning to end before [[being]] allowed to [[subjective destitutionpractice]]" of the as [[analysandanalysts]].

* the Since [[Lacan]] argues that all [[analystpsychoanalysts]] -- should have experienced the "[[loss process]] of being[[analytic treatment]]" (from beginning to end, the [[Frend of analysis]]. ''is also the passage from [[désêtreanalysand]]'') of the to [[analyst]].

<blockquote>"The [[analyst]] true termination of an analysis" is reduced -- from the position of the [[subject-supposed-therefore no more and no less than that which "prepares you to-know]] -- to a mere [[surplus]], a [[objet petit a]], the [[cause]] of the [[analysand]]'s [[desire]]become an analyst."<ref>{{S7}} p.303</ref></blockquote>

==Passage from Analysand For [[Lacan]], it is not only possible, but necessary to Analyst==go beyond [[identification]], for otherwise it is not [[psychoanalysis]] but [[suggestion]] -- which is the antithesis of [[psychoanalysis]].

For ====Transference====[[Lacan]], the [[end of analysis]] is also the passage from [[analysand]] to [[analyst]] -- for all criticizes those [[psychoanalysts]] must undergo who describe the [[analytic treatmentend of analysis]] from beginning to end before being allowed to practice as in terms of "liquidation" of the [[analyststransference]].

Since For [[Lacan]] argues that all , this erroneous view is based on a misunderstanding of [[psychoanalyststransference]] should have experienced the process -- as a kind of [[analytic treatmentillusion]] from beginning to end, which can be transcended -- which overlooks the [[end symbolic]] [[nature]] of analysis[[transference]] is also the passage from -- as an essential [[analysandstructure]] to of [[analystspeech]].

<blockquote>"The true termination Although [[analytic treatment]] does involve the [[resolution]] of the [[particular]] ''[[transference|transference relationship]]'' established with the [[analyst]], [[transference]] itself still subsists after the [[end 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>
