The article deals with Lacan's theoretical articulation on the analytical act and the end of analysis, starting from the notions "desêtre (fr.) of the subject supposed knowledge" and "subjective destitution", aiming at the approach of psychoanalytical clinical and of its contrivances in Lacan. Comprehends the period from 1953 to 1968, prioritizing the seminar The psychoanalytical act (LACAN, 1967-1968/s.d.). If, in the beginning of the analysis, the analytical act gives support to the subject supposed knowledge, at the end of analysis, the subjective destitution enables the record of the need, requiring a subject that is articulated to the cause of its desire.
