The term "[[desire of the analyst]]" is ambiguous, and oscillates between two meanings in [[Lacan]]'s [[Jacques Lacan:Bibliography|work]].
====Desire ''Proper'' to the Analyst====
First, the term simply refers to the [[desire]] of the [[analyst]] (in the [[analyst]]'s [[mind]] or [[psyche]]), the [[desire]] that animates the [[analyst]] in the way he or she directs the [[treatment]].
The other sense of the phrase "[[desire of the analyst]]" refers to the [[desire]] which must animate the [[analyst]] in the way he directs the [[treatment]].
====Desire ''Attributed'' to the Analyst====
The other sense of the phrase "[[desire of the analyst]]" refers to the [[desire]]
In [[psychoanalytic treatment]], the [[analyst]] attributes [[desire]] to the [[analyst]] (as well as [[knowledge]]).
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 [[fantasy|fundamental fantasy]] emerges in the [[transference]].
