=====Jacques Lacan==========Translation=====The English word "[[training]]" is used to translate two [[French ]] [[terms ]] used by [[Lacan]]: ''[[training|analyse didactique ]]'' ("'''[[training analysis]]'''") and ''[[training|formation]]'' ("'''professional training'''").
=====Therapeutic Analysis=====By the [[time]] [[Lacan]] began [[training]] as an [[analyst]], in the 1930s, it had become established [[practice]] in the [[International Psychoanalytical Association]] ([[IPA]]) to make a [[distinction]] between "'''therapeutic [[analysis]]''') " and formation ("'''professional traininganalysis'''" (this distinction is still maintained by the [[IPA]] today).
In the context of this distinction, the term "'''therapeutic analysis'''" refers to a course of [[analytic treatment]] entered into by the [[analysand]] for the [[purpose]] of treating certain [[symptom]]s, whereas the term "'''training analysis'''" refers exclusively to a course of [[analytic treatment]] entered into for the purpose of [[training]] as an [[analyst]].
=====Training Analysis=====
According to the rules governing all the societies affiliated to the [[IPA]], all members must first undergo a [[training|training analysis]] before being allowed to practice as [[analyst]]s.

of that process is not the removal of symptoms but the passage from analysand to analyst (see END OF ANALYSIS). All analyses are thus capable of producing an analyst, and all claims by institutions to say which analyses count as training and which do not are bogus, for 'the authorisation of an analyst can only come from himself' (Lacan, 1967: 14). Lacan therefore abolishes the distinction between thera- peutic analysis and training analysis; all analyses are training analyses, at least potentially. 'There is only one kind of psychoanalysis, the training analysis' (S11, 274). Today, many Lacanians have dispensed with both the term 'therapeutic analysis' and the term 'training analysis', preferring to use the term personal analysis (a term Lacan himself uses occasionally; see S8, 222) to designate any course of analytic treatment. e The training of analysts (Fr. formation des analystes) This refers to the process by which people learn how to conduct psychoanalytic treatment, i.e. how to be analysts. For Lacan, this is not simply a process that analysts go through at the beginning of their professional life, but an ongoing process. There are two sources from which analysts learn how to conduct psycho- analytic treatment: their own experience of treatment (first as patients, then as analysts), and the experience of others which is transmitted to them via psychoanalytic theory. Lacan insists that the most fundamental of these sources is the analyst's own experience of psychoanalytic treatment as a patient. However, this does not excuse the analyst from having to learn a lot more besides; Lacan's syllabus for the training of analysts is very extensive, and includes literature, linguistics, mathematics and history (E, 144-5). The analyst must seek to become, as Freud was, 'an encyclopedia of the arts and muses' (E, 169). This broad curriculum is evident in Lacan's public seminar which is filled with incursions into philosophy, topology, logic, literature and linguistics - all of which Lacan regards as essential to the training of analysts. It is worth noting that the English term 'training' is nuanced rather differ- ently to the French term formation. Whereas the English term carries connota- tions of a formal programme, or a bureaucratic structure, the French term (especially in Lacan's work) connotes a process which alters the subject in the very kernel of his being, and which cannot be regulated by set ritualistic procedures nor guaranteed by a printed qualification.__NOTOC__
