[[analysand]] [[psychoanalysand]] (''analysant'' or ''psychanalysant'')
Before 1967, [[Lacan]] refers to the one who is 'in' [[psychoanalytic]] [[treatment]] as the '[[patient]]' or the '[[subject]]'.
In 1967 [[Lacan]] introduces the term [[''psychanalysant]]'', based on the [[English]] term '[[psychoanalysand]]'.<ref>Lacan, 1967: 18</ref>
[[Lacan]] prefers this term because, being derived from the gerund, it indicates that the one who lies on the couch is the one who does most of the work.
