How to End a Lacanian Analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper explores a number of Lacanian ideas that the author has found to be clinically useful. These ideas include traversing the fundamental fantasy, the notion of objet a and the sinthome. The paper particularly focuses on the notion of desire and jouissance, as it is the economy of these that is at stake in the structure of the three forms of psychopathology recognised by Lacan viz psychosis, neurosis and perversion. It is also a change in the economy of desire and jouissance which is hoped for as a byproduct of a Lacanian analysis, the main purpose of which is analysis itself. The paper explores these concepts and shows how they relate to one another in clinical work.
