This text examines the symptomatic place of reference in the clinic. A common thread can be found between what prompts an analyst to write a case history, to seek supervision or to promote counter-transference: the refusal to become a semblance of objet a. This leads to a reflection on written works in psychoanalysis: does the text contain a trace or memory of the analytic act? Can it be qualified as the text of an analyst?
