The desire graph is also a kind of memory instrument for us to locate the things that are happening with our patients and organize decisions in terms of the direction of the cure, interpretation, in terms of construction, in terms of handling the transference .

Logic. - Structure. - I don’t go from here to there without first passing through an intermediate position.

The delta represents the piece of meat, it represents the mythical child before it enters language. Why mythical? Because it has always been part of the language, since it is spoken by the family, by the culture, by the society, wherever it comes from.

Place of the symbolic field and the treasure of signifiers, all signifiers are represented there. The mother as the absolute Other. The one that performs the function of reciprocity, the function of naming, the function of naming this piece of meat as a subject.

Stage in which the self in its relationship with the image will finally recognize itself as a subject, first it finds the image strange, then it determines itself with the image and then it says: this image represents me, this image says what is my place in relation to the Other. - So we have the subject, the imaginary, the mirror stage, and the Other.

The point at which meaning closes and reopens and therefore this feedback is what we call sense or meaning.

The symptom is this response that the Other gives and that relocates the subject, it says: you are not here, you are, once you are spoken to, once you are spoken to by your unconscious, you are in this place. This is the meaning that disturbs you, that determines you, that identifies you, it is the meaning that you give to the desire of the Other and from the desire of the Other.

We have the circulation of speech, a signifier, another signifier and the operation of return, the operation of resignification that we produce in the analysis. Interpretations are effective precisely because they produce reformulations of the subject’s symptomatic position starting from and using the place of the Other.

Resignification - Speech circulation

We are talking, we find the position of the Other, which is the position wherethe subject is located, the feedback of the meaning, from there to the self positionnchronic of the imaginary ego (m) and ends in the ego ideal, this symbolic opposition that produces imaginary effects, this product of the paternal metaphor

Second floor of graph.

Subject - big other - relationship of demand, of need, need of the delta for the Other and demand of the subject for the Other and this beyond the demand which is desire.

Desire emerges as a kind of redirection of the message beyond itself, the doubling, in which a signifier begins to search on the second floor of the graph for what is the final position, the position of fulfillment of the demand. The demand is written: - subject puncture D.

Upstairs we will have the enunciation, that is, where the unconscious speaks, where the unconscious articulates with the drive, the representative of the representation, that which connects the somatic with the psychic, in definitional terms relating to drive.

Ultimately they will operate a twist that will locate the phallus in the field of the Other, for example, that will make the position of the ego ideal residual, for example, that will finally situate the relationship between the demand and the fact that it is a castrated demand, a demand that finds a hole in the symbolic, finds in the symbolic a point of insertion of the real.

I speak, I lack, I demand

The crucial point of the desire graph is the answer that the subject will find for his desire, for the demand, the answer to the subject’s question, the question that he addresses to the Other and that he receives first of all a filtering by castration and secondly fantasy.

The Question of the Subject

Fantasy: Subject puncture Object a - This process: question, answer, fantasy will explain why this position here below on the left is the position of the symptom. Progressing in relation to fantasy or in the relationship between fantasy and desire, we have the production of symptoms. A fantasy refers to several symptoms. One symptom refers to several fantasies.

Between the floor of the statement and the floor ofthe annunciation we have the relationship between desire and fantasy or ghost. Circulation: from desire to fantasy, from fantasy to desire.

The response that the subject gives to the other in terms of identification with the object, in terms of making an object for the other, making an object for the other’s demand, making an object for the other’s imagination and this precisely the point at which the analysis becomes a cross. - The crossing in the phantasm can be read as a passage, the ordered passage of castration, fantasy, symptom and return.

Ghost

Production of a scheme that replicates the constitution of the subject, the mirror stage, entry into language, formation and fixation of fantasy, inscription of the phallus in the field of the Other, formalization of demand, paternal metaphor, circumscription of enjoyment.

Constructive process that, on the other hand, allows us to think about the impacts of the subject in the analysis. They can be read with these operators: we are in an imaginary impasse, imaginary transference, we are struggling with how fantasy articulates with desire, or how fantasy is placed in relation to the symptom, or how castration is linked with fantasy, either we are on the plane of the issue of demand, or there was no issue and we are simply producing changes on the symptomatic plane, interpretative resignifications and how the transference will articulate this relationship between demand and fantasy.
