==Sigmund Freud==
In ''[[Analysis Terminable and Interminable]]'', [[Freud]] asks:
<blockquote>"Is there such a [[thing]] as a [[natural]] end to an analysis?"<ref>{{F}} ''[[Sigmund Freud:Bibliography|Analysis Terminable and Interminable]]'', 1937. [[SE]] XXIII p.219</ref></blockquote>
==Jacques Lacan==
[[Lacan]]'s answer is that [[psychoanalytic treatment]] is a [[progress|logical process]] with a beginning and an end-point, designated as the "[[end of analysis]]".
While not all [[treatment|analyses]] are carried through to their [[progress|conclusion]], any [[treatment|analysis]] -- however incomplete -- may be regarded as successful when it achieves this [[end of analysis|aim]].
The question of the [[end of analysis]] is therefore something more than whether a [[treatment|course]] of [[Jacques Lacantreatment|analytic treatment]] asserts that has or has not achieved its aim; it is indeed possible to speak a question of whether or not the [[treatment]] has reached its [[logical]] [[End of concluding an analysis|end-point]].
: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>
Since [[Lacan criticises those ]] argues that all [[psychoanalystpsychoanalysts]]s who should have seen experienced the end of analysis in terms [[process]] of [[identificationanalytic treatment]] with the analyst. In opposition from beginning to this view of psychoanalysisend, Lacan states that the "crossing [[end of analysis]] is also the plane of identification is possible."<ref>Sll, 273</ref>Not only is it possible passage from [[analysand]] to go beyond identification, but it is necessary, for otherwise it is not psychoanalysis but suggestion, which is the antithesis of psychoanalysis; "the fundamental mainspring of the analytic operation is the maintenance of the distance between the I - identification - and the a[[analyst]]."<ref>S11, 273</ref>
==References==Transference====[[Lacan]] also criticizes those [[psychoanalysts]] who describe the [[end of analysis]] in terms of "liquidation" of the [[transference]]. 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]]. ====Other Misconceptions====The [[end of analysis]] does not involve: * the strengthening the [[ego]]* the [[adaptation]] to [[reality]]* the [[disappearance]] of the [[symptom]]<references/>* 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>
