ABSTRACT
Aside from the fact that Lacan evoked the singularity of the moment, a second justification would be the sequence previously referred to, namely the instant of seeing, the time for understanding, and the moment to conclude. A certain number of analyses develop discontinuously, with several moments of concluding. This chapter includes analyses with more than one analyst, and even those with the same analyst, sometimes with longer or shorter interruptions. The act through which an analysis is concluded varies from one analysand to another, and although the analysis may be propitious to its realisation, it is an act that belongs to the analysand. The chapter suggests that the moment of concluding an analysis is not completely dissociated from repetition. There is the real that is encountered at the end, but there is the real of structure that is there from the start and which determines, it seems to author, the moment to conclude.
