Abstract

This research aims to produce an articulation between the training of the psychoanalystand its relationship with the mourning of transferential love and the anguish within the analysis, aimingdiscuss morality in transmissions about training and its consequence on dynamicsbetween transference and anguish. The study of the possibility of articulation between love and the affect of anguish in the analyst's analysis, as part of his training, isplaced in moments of teaching and articles by Jacques Lacan that indicates that there arecorrelations between them based on concepts of transference as the love relationship thatcovers the structural absence of resources that the subject experiences as helplessness andanguish before the enigma of the Other's desire. Furthermore, noting the transference/love in its moral foundation as leaning on the Ego Ideal,it is intended to raise the way in which the training of the analyst is currently discussed, among withthe end of the analysis, seeking to point out possible moralizing tones and their reverberations and itsdeleterious effects within the formation itself. Finally, this work tries to thinkopenings for discussion about the training of the psychoanalyst and the end of an analysis based onits structural aspect, elucidating the outcome of love in anguish in the process oftraining, in an attempt to exempt the moral tone in the transmission of what does an analyst.
