Fantasm

In his work Analysis Terminable and Interminable, Freud, in commenting on the work of psychoanalysis, acknowledged that theorizing in psychoanalysis had the status of "phantasying". This is to say, that the psychoanalyst's production of knowledge concerning the unconscious articulates itself as phantasy. For Lacan, the logic of phantasy could not be articulated without reference to the function of writing.
