The Freudian Thing > *The Thing's Order* > *Resistance to the Resisters*
Theoretical move: Lacan argues that the post-1920s analytic primacy given to resistance analysis paradoxically entrenched objectification of the subject, producing a structural misrecognition that corrupts the analytic relationship; authentic analytic speech must address the subject about something *other* than himself—the Thing that speaks in him—requiring the analyst to receive and return the message in inverted form rather than maintain the subject in self-observation.
the analysis of resistance was designed precisely to reinforce the subject's objectifying position, to so great an extent, indeed, that this directive now permeates the principles that are supposed to be applied in the conduct of a standard treatment.
