ABSTRACT
This chapter aims to explore the analytic practice involving the pathway from the fantasme towards desire psychoanalysis itself. Jacques Lacan says that as the desire is sustained in the fantasme, in same way the ego is sustained in the other's image or in the body image. The fantasme is to the desire what the other's image or the body image is to the ego. Lacan expressed this through the notion of homology. It is due to this double concealment of the fantasme's determinant that Lacan had to do first a whole conceptual route around the mirror stage, in order to establish later another determination function. There the subject faces another dimension—much more structural. The fantasme is indeed the position of the neurotic with regard to desire, which marks with his presence the subject's response to demand. The graph of desire allows us to give an extremely clinical version of that relation.
