==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]]".
In ===Aim===The [[end of analysis|''end''of analysis]] must be distinguished from the ''[[Analysis Terminable and InterminableEnd of analysis|aim]],''' of [[Sigmund Freudpsychoanalytic treatment]] reflects upon whether it is ever possible to .
discusses the question The [[end of analysis|aim]] of whether it [[treatment]] is ever possible to conclude an lead the [[analysisanalysand]] to articulate the '''[[truth]]''' [[about]], his or whether all analyses are necessarily incomplete (Freud, 1937c)her [[desire]].
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]].
The term '===Definition===[[end Lacan]] conceives of this [[End of analysis|end-point]]' (Frin various ways. ''fin d'analyse'')
: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>
analytic treatment is a logical :<blockquote>"The [[processsubject]] which has an end... 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>
it is necessary to distinguish between :2. In 1960, [[Lacan]] describes the [[end of analysis and the aim of psychoanalytic ]] as a [[treatmentstate]]. The aim of psychoanalytic treatment is to lead the analysand to articulate the [[truthanxiety]] about his and [[desireanxiety|abandonment]]. Any analysis, however incomplete-- that is, may be regarded as successful when it achieves this aim. The question of the end of analysis is therefore something more than whether a course state of analytic treatment has or has not achieved its aim; it is a question of whether or not the treatment has reached its logical end-point.Lacan conceives of this end-point in various ways[[helplessness]].
l:3. In the early 1950s1964, [[Lacan]] describes the [[end of analysis is described ]] as "the advent of a true speech and the realisation by point when the subject of his history."<ref>E, 88</ref> (see [[speechanalysand]])."The traverses the radical [[subjectfantasy]] ... 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, 373, n. 1</ref>The end of analysis is also described as coming to terms with one's own [[mortality]]{{S11}} p.<ref>E, 104-5273</ref>
2:4. In 1960the final decade of his teaching, [[Lacan ]] describes the [[end of analysis as a state of [[anxiety]] and abandonment, and compares it to the as an "[[helplessnessidentification]] of with the human ''[[infantsinthome]]''."
3. ====Position of Analysand and Analyst====In 1964 he describes it as general, the point when the [[analysand]] has "[[traverseend of analysis]]d involves two fundamental changes in the radical [[fantasy]]."<ref>Sll, 273</ref> (see respective [[fantasydiscourse|subjective positions]]).of
4. In * the last decade of his teaching, he describes the end of analysis as "[[identificationanalysand]] with -- the ''"[[sinthomesubjective destitution]]''", and as "knowing what to do with of the sinthome." (see ''[[sinthomeanalysand]]'')., and
Common to all these formulations is the idea that the end of analysis involves a change in * the [[subjective positionanalyst]] of -- the "[[analysandloss of being]] " (the analysand's '[[subjective destitutionFrench]]: ''), and a corresponding change in the position of the [[analystdésêtre]] (the loss of [[being]] [Fr. ''désêtre''] of the analyst, the fall of the analyst from the position ) of the [[subject-supposed-to-know]]). At the end of the analysis, the analyst is reduced to a mere [[surplus]], a pure [[objet petit a]], the [[cause of desire|cause of the analysand's desire]].
Since Lacan argues that all psychoanalysts should have experienced The [[analyst]] is reduced -- from the [[processdiscourse|position]] of analytic the [[treatmentsubject-supposed-to-know]] from beginning -- to enda mere [[surplus]], a [[objet petit a]], the end [[cause]] of analysis is also the passage from [[analysand]] to 's [[analystdesire]]. "The true termination of an analysis" is therefore no more and no less than that which "prepares you to become an analyst."<ref>S7, 303</ref>
In 1967====Passage from Analysand to Analyst====For [[Lacan]], Lacan introduced the procedure [[end of analysis]] is also the passage from [[passanalysand]] as a means of testifying to the [[analyst]] -- for all [[psychoanalysts]] must undergo [[analytic treatment]] from beginning to end of one's analysis. By means of this procedure, Lacan hoped before [[being]] allowed to avoid the dangers of regarding the end of analysis [[practice]] as a quasi-mystical, ineffable experience. Such a view is antithetical to psychoanalysis, which is all about putting things into words[[analysts]].
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>
Lacan also rejects the idea that the end <blockquote>"The true termination of an analysis involves the 'liquidation' of the [[transference]]" is therefore no more and no less than that which "prepares you to become an analyst."<ref>see S11, 267{{S7}} p. 303</ref>The idea that the transference can be 'liquidated' is based on a misunderstanding of the nature of the transference, according to which the transference is viewed as a kind of [[illusion]] which can be transcended. Such a view is erroneous because it entirely overlooks the [[symbolic]] nature of the transference; transference is part of the essential [[structure]] of [[speech]]. Although analytic treatment involves the resolution of the particular transference relationship established with the analyst, transference itself still subsists after the end of analysis.</blockquote>
Other misconceptions of ===Misconceptions=======Identification with the end of analysis which Analyst====[[Lacan rejects are: "strengthening the ego", "adaptation to reality" and "happiness". The end of analysis is not the disappearance of the ]] criticizes those [[symptompsychoanalysts]], nor who describe the [[cureend of analysis]] in terms of an underlying disease (e.g. [[neurosisidentification]]), since analysis is not essentially a therapeutic process but a search for with the [[truthanalyst]], and the truth is not always beneficial.<ref>Sl7, 122</ref>
<ref>54</ref>For [[Lacan]], it is not only possible, but necessary to go beyond [[identification]], for otherwise it is not [[psychoanalysis]] but [[suggestion]] -- which is the antithesis of [[psychoanalysis]].
==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>
