The phrase the [[analyst]] is therefore a "'''[[subject supposed to know|subject supposed to desire of the analyst]]' is an ambiguous one that seems ''" (as well as a "[[subject supposed to oscillate in Lacan's work between two meanings:know]]").

==A ===Desire Attributed ''Proper'' to the Analyst=====As well as attributing In the second sense of the term, the "[[knowledgedesire of the analyst]] " refers to the ''actual'' [[analystdesire]], so also of the [[analysandanalyst]] attributes , which animates the [[desireanalyst]] to in the way he directs the [[analysttreatment]].

The =====Psychoanalytic Treatment=====In [[analystpsychoanalytic treatment]] is therefore not only a [[subject supposed to know]] but also a "[[subject]] supposed to [[desire]]."

Thus the phrase "In this way the [[analyst]]'s supposed [[desire]]" does not refer to becomes the real [[desiretreatment|driving force]] in of the [[analystanalytic]]'s [[psycheprocess]], but to since it keeps the [[desireanalysand]] [[working]] which , trying to discover what the [[analysandanalyst]] attributes to wants from him.

===Treatment===<blockquote>"The task of the [[analystdesire]] throughout of the [[treatmentanalyst]] is to make it impossible for the [[analysand]] to be sure ultimately that he knows what the which operates in [[analystpsychoanalysis]] wants from him; the [[analyst]] must make sure that his desire "remains an x." for the [[analysand]].<ref>{{S11Ec}} p.274854</ref></blockquote>

In this way By presenting the [[analystanalysand]]'s supposed with an enigmatic [[desire]] becomes , the driving force of [[analyst]] occupies the [[analyticposition]] of the [[processOther]], since it keeps of whom the [[analysandsubject]] asks "'''[[Che vuoi?]] working, trying to discover what the '''" ("What do you [[analystwant]] wants from him; me?"), with the result that the [[desiresubject]] of the 's [[analystfantasy|fundamental fantasy]] is ultimately that which operates emerges in the [[psychoanalysistransference]]."<ref>{{Ec}} p.854</ref>

By presenting the [[analysand]] with an enigmatic [[desire]], the [[analyst]] occupies the position of the [[Other]], of whom the [[subject]] asks '''[[Che vuoi?]]''' ("What do you want from me?"), with the result that the [[subject]]'s [[fundamental fantasy]] emerges in the [[transference]]====Definition====This is easier to define negatively than positively.

==A desire proper to the analyst==The other sense of the phrase the '[[desire of the analyst]]' refers to the It is certainly not a [[desire]] which must animate the [[analyst]] in for the way he directs [[treatment]]"impossible".  This is easier to define negatively than positively<ref>{{S7}} p. 300</ref>

It Nor is certainly not it a [[desire]] for to "do [[good]]" or "to [[cure]]"; on the impossiblecontrary, it is "a non-desire to cure."<ref>{{S7}} p.300218</ref>

Nor ====Identification====It is it not a [[desire to 'do good' or 'to cure'; on ]] that the contrary, it is "a non-desire to cure."<ref>{{S7}} p.218</ref>[[analysand]] [[identification|identify]] with the [[analyst]]:

It is not a [[desire]] that the [[analysand]] identify with the [[analyst]]; <blockquote>"the The [[analyst]]'s [[desire]] . . . tends in a direction that is the exact opposite of [[identification]]."<ref>{{S11}} p.274</ref></blockquote>

Rather than [[identification]], the [[analyst]] [[desire]]s that the [[analysand]]'s own unique [[truth]] emerge in the [[treatment]], a [[truth]] that is absolutely different to that of the [[analyst]]; the [[analyst]]'s [[desire]] is thus "a desire to obtain absolute [[difference]]."<ref>{{S11}} p.276</ref>

====Ethics====It is in the sense of a "a '''[[Desire of the analyst|desire]] proper to the [[analyst]]'''" that [[Lacan]] wishes to locate the question of the [[analyst]]'s [[desire]] at the heart of the [[ethics ]] of [[psychoanalysis]].

====Training====How is it that the [[analyst]] comes to be guided by the [[desire]] which is proper to his function?

According to [[Lacan]], this can only occur by means of a [[training|training analysis]].

The essential requirement, the condition ''sine qua non'' for becoming an [[analyst]], is to undergo [[treatment|analytic]] [[treatment]] oneself.

In the course of this [[treatment]] there will be a mutation in the [[economy ]] of [[desire]] in the [[analyst]]|analyst-to-be]]; his [[desire]] will be [[structure|restructured]], reorganised[[structure|reorganized]].<ref>{{S8}} p.221-2</ref>
