Abstract
This paper examines the establishment of the analysand's demand in the analytic experience, taking into account his position of desiring subject in the wake of castration. It aims to look into the place of demand in the transference by considering aspects that are relevant to the clinical work, such as the maneuvers of the analyst in the development of one's analysis. On that basis, the author investigates the trajectory of Lacan's elaborations on the concept of transference and its applicability in the psychoanalytic clinic.KEYWORDS: Demand. Desiring Subject. Transference. Lacan. Psychoanalytic Clinic.
Highlights
I focus my research on the place of demand in the transference to investigate the nuances of the demand in the analytic discourse based on the neurotic psychic structure
The Other decides about it, and it is here that we find the root of this dependency of the neurotic” (LACAN, 1961, p. 7)
In a sense that the subject should be confronted in his place of subjection to the primary signifier, the “lost object”, as well as in his place of subjection to the master signifiers, the Other’s desire. This confrontation is the means for the subject to get to know what he is in relation to his demand in the transference, coming to terms with his own desire
Summary
I focus my research on the place of demand in the transference to investigate the nuances of the demand in the analytic discourse based on the neurotic psychic structure. The existence of discourse, through which the subject posits himself, is with respect to his instinctual demand towards his mother and subsequent castration This involves the subject’s effacement by the work of the first repression as a consequence of the Oedipal wishes. As a desiring speaking subject, he positions himself with respect to discourse, but there is still something unsymbolized that interferes in the subject’s functioning, which is the action of the drives It is essential for the development of one’s analysis to situate the subject of the unconscious in relation to his demand and sexual reality, and, in addition, to the manifestation of drives in order to track down his desire. I demonstrate how demand presents itself in the transference, or the engagement of the subject in the analytic discourse, and the importance of the establishment of demand in the course of analysis
