COELHO, Maria Thereza Ávila Dantas. Considerations about the end of analysis. Psicol. USP [online]. 2008, vol.19, n.3, pp. 363-373. ISSN 1678-5177.

In the psychoanalytic community, the end of analysis has always concerned the argument theoretical-technical. In the Lacanian School especially, the end of analysis acquired special attraction when Lacan proposed a new transmission’s gadget, the pass, whereby new analysts tell us about their passage to analyst condition. Ever since, different conceptions of the end of analysis have appeared and produced a new discussion. In this context this article contributes to the present argument, discussing various aspects like efficacy of analysis, destinies of transference and instinct, second analysis and pass. In order to do so, part of the initially queries raised by the Freudian text Finished and Unfinished Analysis and discusses them by the theoretical developments accomplished by Lacanian analysts. After it presents different conceptions about the end of analysis, it defends a final point, whereby we are called to invent, to make a singular production.
