belief that the Other knows the truth about her object a; she holds a belief that such an Other exists and that it is flawless. The hysteric also demands that every man be the embodiment of such an Other, which forces her to constantly question the authority of her partner. ”The hysteric, looking for an Other without lack, offers herself to him as phallicized object to make him complete, to install him as Other without flaw.” Through this desperate attempt, the hysteric hopes to become the only object of the desire of the Other, which would give her certainty as of her being. - R.
