(Re) Creative ending sessions…

This article studies one element in the analytic setting: the end of the session, by approaching it as a distinct, clinical subject. After recalling the debate that raged after Jacques Lacan introduced the concept of scansion, the author presents two short texts by Sandor Ferenczi. Next, several clinical situations illustrate what can be learned by taking a special interest in the moments at the end of a session, an important time in an analyst’s work.
