Referring again to Freud’s explanation of transference in The Interpretation of Dreams (1900a), Lacan reported in the former text that ‘transference…gave its name to the mainspring of the intersubjective link between analyst and analysand’ (analysand.'<ref>Lacan 1977g[1957]:170)</ref>

I am astounded that no-one has ever thought of objecting to me, given certain of the terms of my doctrine, that the transference alone is an objection to intersubjectivity. I even regret it, seeing that nothing is more true: it refutes it, it is its stumbling block.<ref>Lacan 1995b[1967]:4</ref> ==More==INTERSUBJECTIVITY [[Lacan]] begins (in 1953)to analyze in detail the function of [[speech]] in [[psychoanalysis]]. [[Lacan]] emphasizes that [[speech]] is essentially an [[intersubjective]] process. "The allocution of the [[subject]] entails an allocutor" and therefore "the locutor is constituted in it as [[intersubjectivity]]."<ref>{{E}} p.49</ref> The term '[[intersubjectivity]]' draws attention to the importance of [[language]] in [[psychoanalysis]] and emphasizes the fact that the [[unconscious]] is "transindividual." [[Psychoanalysis]] is thus to be conceived in [[intersubjective]] rather than intrasubjective terms. By 1960 the term '[[intersubjectivity]]' has come to acquire negative connotations for [[Lacan]]. It is now associated, not with [[speech]] as such, but with the notions of reciprocity and symmetry that characterize the [[dual relationship]];<ref>{{S8}} p.20</ref> that is, with the [[imaginary]] rather than with the [[symbolic]]. [[Psychoanalysis]] is no longer to be conceived of in terms of [[intersubjectivity]].<ref>{{S8}} p.20</ref> Indeed, the experience of [[transference]] is precisely what undermines the notion of [[intersubjectivity]].<ref>Lacan. 1967</ref>
