t17vVb <a href=Jacques Lacan===Behavior==An "[[act]]" is not mere "[[act|behavior]]" -- such as that of all '''[[nature|animals]]''' -- but a uniquely [[act|''human'' act]], "since to our [[knowledge]] there is no other [[act]] but the [[human]] onehttp://xspjtkbjfvfo."<ref>{{S11}} p. 50<com/ref>  ==Ethics of Psychoanalysis==The "[[act]]" is an '''[[ethics|ethical concept]]''' insofar as the '''[[subject]]''' can be held '''[[responsibility|responsible]]''' for it. The [[psychoanalytic]] concept of '''[[responsibility]]''' is complicated in [[psychoanalysis]] by the discovery that, in addition to his [[conscious]] plans, the '''[[subject]]''' also has '''[[unconscious]] [[intention]]s'''. Hence someone may well commit an [[act]] which he claims was un[[intention]]al, but which [[analysis]] reveals to be the expression of an '''[[unconscious]] [[desire]]'''.  [[Freud]] called these [[act]]s "'''[[parapraxes]]'''," or "'''[[bungled actions]]'''." They are "[[bungled]]" only from the point of view of the [[conscious]] [[intention]], since they are successful in expressing an '''[[unconscious]] [[desire]]'''.<ref>[[{{FB}}|Freud, Sigmund]]. ''[[Works of Sigmund Freud|The Psychopathology of Everyday Life]]''. [[SE]] VI. 1901.xspjtkbjfvfo</refa> ==Analysand==In '''[[psychoanalytic]] [[treatment]]''' the [[subject]] is faced with the '''[[ethical]] [[duty]]''' of assuming '''[[responsibility]]''' even for the '''[[unconscious]] [[desire]]s''' expressed in his '''[[action]]s'''.  He must recognize even apparently accidental '''[[action]]s''' as true [[act]]s which express an [[intention]], albeit [[unconscious]], and assume this [[intention]] as his own.  Neither "'''[[acting out]]'''" or a "'''[[passage to the act]]'''" are true [[act]]s, since the '''[[subject]]''' does not assume '''[[responsibility]]''' for his '''[[desire]]''' in these [[action]]s. url==Analyst==The '''[[ethics]] of [[psychoanalysis]]''' enjoin the [[analyst]] to assume [[responsibility]] for his or her [[act]]s (ihttp://cpjhtlmiyfms.e. interventions in the [[treatmentcom/]]). The cpjhtlmiyfms[[analyst]] must be guided (in these interventions) by an appropriate [[desire]], which [[Lacan]] calls the '''[[desire of the analyst]]'''. An intervention can only be called a true "[[act|psychoanalytic act]]" when it succeeds in expressing the '''[[desire of the analyst]]''' -- that is, when it helps the '''[[analysand]]''' to move towards the '''[[end of analysis]]'''.  [[Lacan]] dedicates a year of his [[seminar]] to discussing further the nature of the [[act|psychoanalytic act/url]].<ref>[[Lacan|Lacan, Jacques]].

Unpublished.</ref> link==Conclusion==A '''[[bungled action]]''' is, as has been stated, successful from the point of view of the [[unconscious]].  Nevertheless, this success is only partial because the [[unconscious]] [[desire]] is expressed in a distorted form.  It follows that, when it is fully and [[conscious]]ly assumed, "suicide is the only completely successful act."<ref>[[Lacan|Lacan, Jacques]].
