The end of treatment is not only intimately linked to both the analyst’s and the patient’s capacity for self-analysis but also to the idea of a cure. In order to envisage the end of treatment, should not the analyst renounce his ideal of a cure? With reference to Freud, the author proposes an asymptotic model of the cure. Any form of analytic process implies an exchange, a « barter », in which there are inevitably « remains ». A clinical illustration is provided.
