ABSTRACT
There is no end to the transference, but in its space there may be several passes to the real, of which the lapsus offers us the reduced model. The space of the symptom can be defined exactly like that of the lapsus. It is the range of its association with other signifiers that gives it meaning. This is the space of hystorisation where it fiddles with truth. The expression "identification with the symptom" also designates a point of arrest of the analysand's libido, of the love addressed to knowledge. Speaking of transference love, Jacques Lacan defines it as "love addressed to knowledge". The expression condenses the two aspects of the transference, epistemic and sentimental, which are closely intertwined and inseparable. Lacan asserts that this love is a subversive love. But not because it would go towards knowledge, quite the opposite, it goes very well with hatred of any interpretation that disturbs the love affairs with truth.
