===Aim===The [[Lacan]]end of analysis|''end''s answer is that [[psychoanalytic treatmentof analysis]] is a logical process which has a beginning and an end, which he designates by must be distinguished from the term "''[[end End of analysis|aim]]" ([[Fr]]. ''of [[fin d'analysepsychoanalytic treatment]]'').

==The Aim of Psychoanalytic Treatment==The [[end of analysis|''end'' aim]] of analysis[[treatment]] must be distinguished from is to lead the [[end of analysis|analysand]] to articulate the '''[[truth]]'aim'' of psychoanalytic treatment[[about]] his or her [[desire]].

The While not all [[end of analysistreatment|aim of psychoanalytic treatmentanalyses]] is are carried through to lead the their [[analysandprogress|conclusion]] to articulate the , any [[truthtreatment|analysis]] about his -- however incomplete -- may be regarded as successful when it achieves this [[desireend of analysis|aim]].

Although 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 all the [[analysestreatment]] are carried through to their conclusion, any has reached its [[analysislogical]] -- however incomplete -- may be regarded as successful when it achieves this [[end End of analysis|aimend-point]].

The question of the ===Definition===[[end of analysisLacan]] is therefore something more than whether a course conceives of this [[analytic treatment]] has or has not achieved its aim; it is a question End of whether or not the [[treatment]] has reached its logical analysis|end-point]] in various ways.

==The End :1. In the early 1950s, [[Lacan]] describes the [[end of Analysis==analysis]] as "the advent of a [[true]] [[speech]] and the realization by the [[Lacansubject]] conceives of this endhis [[history]]" --point in various waysthat is, as coming to [[terms]] with one's own [[death|mortality]].<ref>{{E}} p.88</ref>

:1. In the early 1950s, <blockquote>"The [[Lacansubject]] describes ... begins the [[end of analysis]] as "the advent of a true [[speech]] and the realization by the [[subjectspeaking]] of his [[history]]" -- that isabout himself without speaking to you, as coming or by speaking to terms with one's own you without speaking about himself. When he can [[death|mortalityspeak]]to you about himself, the analysis will be over."<ref>{{EEc}} p.88373, n. 1</ref></blockquote>

:<blockquote>"The 2. In 1960, [[subjectLacan]] ... begins describes the [[end of analysis by speaking about himself without speaking to you]] as a [[state]] of [[anxiety]] and [[anxiety|abandonment]] -- that is, 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, nas a state of [[helplessness]]. 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>

===Subjective Destitution=Position of Analysand and Analyst==== The In general, the [[end of analysis]] involves two fundamental changes in the respective subjective positions of  * the [[analysand]] -- the "[[discourse|subjective destitutionpositions]]" of the [[analysand]]

* the [[analystanalysand]] -- the "[[loss of beingsubjective destitution]]" ([[Fr]]. ''[[désêtre]]'') of the [[analystanalysand]], and

The * the [[analyst]] is reduced -- from the position of the "[[subject-supposed-to-knowloss of being]] -- to a mere " ([[surplusFrench]], a : ''[[objet petit a]], the [[causedésêtre]] '') of the [[analysand]]'s [[desireanalyst]].

==Passage from Analysand to Analyst==For The [[Lacananalyst]], is reduced -- from the [[end of analysisdiscourse|position]] is also of the passage from [[analysandsubject-supposed-to-know]] -- to a mere [[analystsurplus]], a [[objet petit a]] -- for all , the [[psychoanalystscause]] must undergo of the [[analytic treatmentanalysand]] from beginning to end before being allowed to practice as 's [[analystsdesire]].

Since ====Passage from Analysand to Analyst====For [[Lacan]] argues that , the [[end of analysis]] is also the passage from [[analysand]] to [[analyst]] -- for all [[psychoanalysts]] should have experienced the process of must undergo [[analytic treatment]] from beginning to end, the before [[end of analysisbeing]] is also the passage from allowed to [[analysandpractice]] to as [[analystanalysts]].

<blockquote>"The true termination Since [[Lacan]] argues that all [[psychoanalysts]] should have experienced the [[process]] of [[analytic treatment]] from beginning to end, the [[end of an analysis" ]] is therefore no more and no less than that which "prepares you also the passage from [[analysand]] to become an [[analyst]]."<ref>{{S7}} p.303</ref></blockquote>

For [[Lacan]], this erroneous view is based on a misunderstanding of [[transference]] -- as a kind of [[illusion ]] which can be transcended -- which overlooks the [[symbolic]] [[nature ]] of [[transference]] -- as an essential [[structure]] of [[speech]].

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 analysis]].

* the strengthening the [[ego]]* the [[adaptation ]] to [[reality]]* the [[disappearance ]] of the [[symptom]]* the [[cure ]] of an underlying disease (e.g.''[[neurosis]]'')

For [[Lacan]], [[analysis]] is not essentially a [[treatment|therapeutic process ]] but rather a [[search ]] for [[truth]] -- and the [[truth]] is not always beneficial.<ref>{{S17}} p.122</ref>
