Lacan has used the word ravage in two moments of his teaching. Once to allude to the relation of the daughter to her mother - "a daughter expects more substance from her mother than from her father" (Lacan, 1972/2001) -, and again to refer to the relation of a woman to a man - "who is for her a worst affliction then a sinthome, that is, a ravage" (1975-1976/2007). The ravage is the return of a woman's request for love.
