The [fantasy]-gaze ..brings the subject into a position of being dominated by the desire of the Other. It is the opposite of the function of the [Real]-gaze in the analytic transference.

the unseen analyst whose desire remains an enigma [allows that]..the subject reclaims some greater portion of his or her own desire.

RICHARD BOOTHBY on the Real-gaze, the modus of accepting that we cannot fill with fantasy what we cannot know. In analysis we reclaim access to our desire when we allow lack, when we allow the fact that our fantasy about what others are to us is only a fill-in for the blindspot, for the unknowability of the Other. Not knowing the Other is what sets desire into motion. Thus relying less on fantasy and allowing this notknowing, makes us relearn desire in analysis.

IN TRANSFERENTIAL LOVE I OFFER MYSELF.. ..HERE YOU HAVE ME, SO THAT YOU WILL NO LONGER PROBE INTO ME.

The analyst's silence stands for the absent meaning of the patient's talk

SLAVOJ ZIZEK on coming to terms with the lack at the centre of subjectivity by working with language and through language and by having the analyst present as the locus that gives my language a direction as if it gives the lack of myself and the lack of language a locus or a meaning through which one can arrive at being okay with lack and with lack of meaning.

The psychoanalyst reduces himself to the void, which provokes the subject into confronting ..desire.
