==Jacques Lacan==
[[Recollection]] ([[French]]: ''[[remémoration]]'') and [[remembering]] (''[[mémoration]]'') are [[symbolic]] processes which [[Lacan]] with reminiscence (''réminiscence''), which is an [[imaginary]] phenomenon.
While it is true that intense [[memories]] may be evoked in [[psychoanalytic treatment]], with accompanying [[emotion]]al [[discharge]], this is not the basis of the [[analytic process]].
[[Reminiscence]] is also linked by [[Lacan]] to the [[Plato]]nic theory of [[knowledge]].
[[Recollection]] in the [[treatment]] involves the [[patient]] tracing the [[master signifier]]s of his life.
<blockquote>"The realization by the subject of his history in his relation to a future."<ref>{{E}} p.88</ref></blockquote>
By means of [[recollection]], the [[treatment]] [[aim]]s at "the complete reconstitution of the subject's history"<ref>{{S1}} p.12</ref> and the "assumption of his history by the subject."<ref>{{E}} p.48</ref>
What matters is not 'reliving' the formative events of the [[past]] in any intuitive or experiential way; on the contrary, what matters is what the [[analysand]] reconstructs of his [[past]],<ref>{{S1}} p.13</ref> the key word being '"reconstruct'".
<blockquote>"It is less a matter of remembering than of rewriting history."<ref>{{S1}} p.14</ref> </blockquote>
