The structure of the unconscious and the circuit of) drive both indicate that the symbolic and imaginary dimensions merge in the direction of a real referent - that, even in the best formalizations, keeps its singularity - and, at the end of an analysis, may allow the emergence of the “analyst’s desire”. For their optimal understanding, I used the reports of the Pass device, from the World Association of Psychoanalysis regarding the appearance of the “analyst’s desire” in the end of their treatments. I pointed out that, quite contradictorily, today’s “singularities” follow a standard. The “analyst’s desire” is confused with the “desire to put oneself on display and become a celebrity”. This is the conclusion that led me to the ask: which is the post-modern Lacan oriented analyst’s Other?
