Abstract
Lacan's seminars are a treasure trove of innovative psychoanalytic explorations. In Seminar X, Anxiety, he takes up this Freudian theme and explores a number of interrelated ideas: castration, the difference between the sexes, two different forms of acting out, and what he terms his only original theoretical contribution: the object a and its "various incidences." The object a is described here in detail, especially in relation to Lacan's argument that analysts who are women have a freer relationship to their desire and the countertransferences it spawns than do men. Lacan discussed Lucia Tower's classic paper, "Countertransference," in light of these notions. This essay is a close reading of Lacan's close reading of Tower, whose account, he says, must be approached in all its "innocence and freshness."
拉康的研讨会是精神分析创新探索的宝库。在《第十次研讨会，焦虑》中，他从弗洛伊德的这一主题出发，探讨了一系列相互关联的观点：阉割、性别差异、两种不同形式的出轨行为，以及他所说的唯一原创性理论贡献：客体 a 及其 "各种事件"。这里对客体 a 进行了详细描述，尤其是与拉康的论点有关的部分，即女性分析师与欲望及其引发的反转之间的关系比男性分析师更为自由。拉康根据这些观点讨论了露西娅-塔的经典论文《反移情》。这篇文章是拉康对塔的精读，他说，必须以 "纯真和新鲜 "的态度来对待塔的论述。
