ABSTRACT

We know that the psychoanalyst questions the past. A conference entitled Psychoanalysis: questions for tomorrow1 sought to inverse his first vocation of predicting the past and to encourage him to listen to the future, to pose questions for tomorrow. In fact, such a purpose is profoundly analytic; for, from the very first encounter, there arises an acutely important question, or wager, for this tomorrow that is already present – namely, the issue of the end of the treatment.
