Desire of the analyst and so-called didactic analysis
De Neuter, Patrick
Desire of the analyst and so-called didactic analysis - 2021.
47
Reading Lacan’s teaching, the author attempts to identify the desire of the analyst, which he believes to be the most important element of analytic treatment. This informed, mitigated desire, marked by symbolic castration and restructured by personal analytic treatment, is the result of a confrontation of the going-becoming analyst with the original Hilflosigkeit and its being-toward-death. It presupposes the healing of the transference neurosis, and the overcoming of alienating identifications and of beliefs in a sovereign Good valid for all, in fully satisfying sexual relations, and in the existence of a Master who would know what is for the best. This desire is stronger than other desires that can inhabit the analyst as a person, a desire that is willing to embody, in a semblance, the object that causes the desire of the analysand, and renounces making the analysand the object of the satisfaction of his own enjoyment. It is the result of a personal analysis conducted to a sufficient extent, complemented by a clinical experience developed through professional monitoring or supervisions and other clinical meetings with the analyst’s peers.
