[[Lacan]] states that in <i>Inhibitions, [[Symptoms]] and Anxiety</i> (1926, S.E. XX) [[Freud]] speaks of everything but [[anxiety]] just "to leave the emptiness in which there is anxiety." This [[affect]], related to the [[structure]] of the [[subject]], is not [[repressed]] but adrift; only the [[signifier]]s that anchor it are [[repressed]]. For [[Lacan]] [[anxiety]], <i>[[angoisse]]</i>, is not without an [[object]], but this [[object]] is unknown. Since [[anxiety]] is linked to [[desire]], and [[fantasy]] is the support of [[desire]], the starting point is the <i>[[fantasme]]</i> elaborated in the [[Graph of Desire]] in <i>[[Les formations de l'inconscient]]</i>: [[Image:lacansem1b1.gif|12px]]&lt;&gt;<i>a</i> ([[Subject]] [[bar]]red by the [[signifier]]/relation to/<i>[[objet a]]</i>, which is the [[object of desire]], the [[imaginary]] [[part-object]], an element imagined as separable from the rest of the [[body]]). He then proceeds to define <i>[[objet a]]</i> which relates [[anxiety]] with [[desire]].

And what happens in the [[cure]]? How can the [[analyst]] measure how much [[anxiety]] a [[patient]] can bear? How may the [[analyst]] deal with his own [[anxiety]]? The [[desire of the analyst]] is here involved and he has to institute, along with [[anxiety]], the - F, an emptiness whose function is [[structural]].

An English [[translation]] of [[Seminar VIII]], made from unpublished French transcripts, was made by a [[reading]] group associated with [http://www.lacaninireland.com ''Jacques Lacan in Ireland''] and arranged in a presentable [[form]] by Tony Hughes.
