LOMBARDI, Gabriel. The intimate judgement of the analyst. Stylus (Rio J.) [online]. 2013, n.27, pp.61-71. ISSN 1676-157X.

Several studies have been presented concerning the "pay in words" inherent to the interpretation of the analyst, many others about the "pay with his person" in his transfer manoeuvre. We propose in this work to question the "pay with his intimate judgment" required to the analyst, in the level where ethics of psychoanalysis and its policy towards the act of the speaking being are decided. In that level, "his action on the patient escapes him along with the idea he conceived about him", writes Lacan. We develop two lines of questions. The first is what is meant by "to pay with the intimate judgment" in Lacan teaching? How the analyst can get his ethical knowledge - in terms of Kant and Brentano -, its praxis and its consequences? How will carve the notion of subjective destitution, introduced by Lacan at the same time that his notion of analytic act, years after "The direction of the cure"? The second line of questions focuses the testing by the analysant of the analyst’s difficulties to make that payment. In what diverse ways such difficulties affect the analytical process for different clinical types of symptoms? In concise paragraphs Lacan says that psychoanalyst is always at the mercy of the analysant, which can’t save him from nothing if he stumbles as a psychoanalyst, and if he does not stumble, even less (Discours prononcé le 5 décembre 1967 à l’EFP).

Keywords : Intimate judgment; Act; Superego; Desire; Subjective destitution.
