ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the authors discuss "a pathway" in order to approach in this class, the pathway from fantasme to desire. Actually, the entire graph supposes the idea of a pathway; this is expressed by the fact that it is an oriented graph. Its edges have an orientation, a direction. Thus, the graph of desire inscribes the logic of the discourse "ways", and that of the "defiles" of the signifier. Jacques Lacan establishes clearly that desire is the fundamental motor of the direction of the cure, and he adds that this has to be made explicit, in order to thus rectify a certain current conception of the direction of the treatment. Lacan supports the conception of the clinic of neurosis in the function of fantasme more than S. Freud supported his in the function of unconscious phantasy. According to Freud, one thing is the therapeutic result regarding the symptoms and a different thing is to unravel, the tissue of phantasy.
