The term '[[demand]]' ([[French]]: ''{{Top}}demande'') is elaborated by [[Jacques Lacan]] in opposition to [[need]] and [[desire]].{{Bottom}}
[[==Jacques Lacan]] introduces the concept of [[demand]] in opposition to [[need]] and desire]].====Early Work==
[[Jacques Lacan]] posits a distinction between [[need]], begins to use the term "[[demand]] and [[desire]]" in 1958.
==Demand and Speech==
In the [[seminar]] of 1956-7, [[Lacan]] argues that the '''cry''' of the '''[[Demandhelplessness|human infant]] is addressed ''' -- its '''call''' (''l'appel'') to the Other'''[[mother]]''' -- is not merely an [[instinct|instinctual signal]] but is "inserted in a [[synchronic]] [[world]] of cries organized in a symbolic [[system]]."<ref>{{S4}} p.182, 188</ref>
==Development==In the 1956-7 other [[seminarwords]], [[Object Relations]] [[Lacan]] addresses the [[callinfant]] (''l'appel'' or ''cri'') of an s screams become organized in a [[infantlinguistic]] to the [[motherstructure]].<ref>long before the [[Jacques Lacan|Lacan, Jacqueschild]]is capable of articulating recognizable words. [[Object Relations]]. ''La relation d'objet et les structures freudiennes.'' p.182</ref>
The ==Need, Demand and Desire==It is the [[symbolic|symbolic nature]] of the infant's screams which forms the kernel of the [[infantLacan]] become organized in a 's [[linguisticconcept]] of [[structuredemand]] .The cry "is inserted , which Lacan introduces in 1958 in a synchronic world the context of cries organised in a symbolic system."<ref>his [[distinction]] between [[Jacques Lacan|Lacanneed]], Jacques[[demand]]. and [[Object Relationsdesire]]. ''La relation d'objet et les structures freudiennes.'' p.188</ref>
==Articulation of Need==
Lacan argues that since the [[infant]] is incapable of performing the specific actions that would [[satisfy]] its [[biological]] [[need]]s, it must articulate those [[need]]s in vocal [[form]] ([[demand]]s) so that [[another]] (the [[mother]]) will perform the specific [[action]] instead.
The primary example of such a [[Demandbiological]] [[need]] is thus intimately linked to hunger, which the [[humanchild]] articulates in a scream ([[subjectdemand]]'s initial ) so that the [[helplessnessmother]]will feed it.
==Demand for the Other's Love==
However, because the object]] which [[satisfies]] the [[child]]'s [[need]] is provided by another, it takes on the added [[significance]] of [[being]] a proof of the [[Other]]'s [[love]].
The Accordingly [[humandemand]] too acquires a [[infantdouble]] cannot function: in addition to articualting a [[satisfyneed]] its own , it also becomes a [[biologicaldemand]] for [[needlove]]s.
The And just as the [[infantsymbolic]] must articulate those function of the [[object]] as a proof of [[love]] overshadows its [[real]] function as that which [[satisfies]] a [[need]], so too the [[symbolic]] [[dimension]] of [[demand]] (as a [[demand]] for [[love]]) eclipses its real function (as an articulation of [[need]]s verbally).
For example: =Desire=It is this double function which gives [[birth]] to [[desire]], since while the [[infantneed]]s which [[demand]] articulates may be [[hungersatisfied]], a the craving for [[biology|biologicallove]] is unconditional and [[needinsatiable]], in and hence persists as a scream so that leftover even after the [[motherneed]]s have been satisfied; this leftover constitutes [[desire]] will feed it.
==Helplessness==
[[Demand]] is thus intimately linked to the [[human]] [[subject]]'s initial [[helplessness]].
The By forcing the [[objectanalysand]] which to express himself entirely in [[satisfactionspeech]], the [[treatment|satisfiespsychoanalytic situation]] puts him back in the [[needposition]] (provided by another) also of the [[signifieshelpless]] the [[Otherinfant]]'s , thus encouraging [[loveregression]].
The [[<blockquote>"Through the mediation of the demand]] that articulates a , the [[biology|biologicalwhole]] [[needpast]] becomes a opens up [[demandright]] for to early infancy. [[loveThe Subject|The subject]]has never done anything other than demand, he could not have survived otherwise, an we just follow on from there."<ref>{{E}} p.254</ref></blockquote>
The ==Analysand==However, while the [[symbolic functionspeech]] of the [[analysand]] is itself already a [[demand]] (as for a reply), this [[demand]] for is underpinned by deeper [[lovedemand]]) overshadows its s (to be [[realcure]] function as d, to be revealed to himself, to become an articulation of [[needanalyst]]).<ref>{{E}} p.254</ref>
==Analyst==The function question of how the [[demandanalyst]] as an articulation of [[need]] becomes overshadows by its [[symbolic function]] (as a [[demand]] for engages with these [[lovedemands]])is crucial.
The Certainly the [[biology|biologicalanalyst]] does not attempt to gratify the [[needanalysand]] that 's [[demand]] articulates can be [[satisfaction|satisfied]].The [[demand]] for [[love]] s, but nor is insatiable.The [[demand]] for [[love]] persists as it simply a question of [[leftover]] even after the [[biologyfrustration|biological]] [[need]]s have been [[satisfaction|satisfied]].This [[leftoverfrustrating]] constitutes [[desirethem]].
==Development==
In 1961, [[Lacan]] rethinks the various [[stages]] of [[libidinal]] organisation as forms of [[demand]].
==Analytic Treatment==The [[speech]] or [[discoursedevelopment|oral phase]] of the [[analysanddevelopment]] is itself already constituted by a [[demand]].<ref>E, 254</ref> The [[analysand]] articulates him or herself entirely in [[speech]].The [[analysand]] occupies the [[position]] of [[helplessness]], that of the [[helpless]] [[infant]].The psychoanalytic situation thus encourags [[regression]].Through the mediation of (made by the [[demandsubject]], the whole past opens up right down ) to early [[infancy]].The [[analyst]] must engage with the [[demands]] of the [[analysand]]. He or she must not gratify the be fed (which is a [[demand]]s of made by the [[analysand]], nor can he or she [[frustration|frustratesubject]] them). ==Miscellaneous==
In the [[development|anal stage]], on the other hand, it is not a question of the [[subject]]'s [[demand]], but the [[demand]] of the [[Other]] (the parent who disciplines the child in potty-[[training]]).<ref>{{S8}} p. 238-46, 269</ref>
[[Demand]] arises only from [[speech]].[[Demand]] is addressed to someone.[[Demand]] is only implicit.[[Demand]] is related to a need for love, but also to desire.[[Demand]] does not need to be sustained by any real object. [[Demand]] deprives the demand In both of its satisfaction. these [[Demand]] arises when a [[lack]] in the [[Real]] becomes articulates in the [[symbolic]] medium of [[language]]. [[Demand]], like [[parapraxes]] or [[slips of the tongue]], express [[unconscious]] signifying formations. [[Desire]] is leftover from the [[demand]]. The [[Real]] cannot be symbolized. The leftover represents a [[lossdevelopment|lostpregenital stage]] [[surplus]] of ''[[jouissance]]'' for s the [[subject]]. "Don't give me what I ask for, that's not it." The [[objectsatisfaction]] of [[demand]] is a eclipses [[fantasydesire]] [[object]], what is [[lack]]ing ; only in the [[unconsciousgenital stage]] does [[Other]]. The function of the [[objectdesire]] is comes to make the [[demand]] of the [[subject]] and the [[demand]] of the [[Other]] coincide. [[Demand]], although it is tied to both the [[symbolic]] and the [[real]], is primarily [[imaginary]], and thus most closely related to the [[body]]be fully constituted. The [[symbolic function]] of the [[object]] as a proof of [[love]] overshadows its real function as that which satisfies a [[need]]<ref>{{S8}} p.270</ref>
