Abstract :
[en] Using data from clinical research in applied psychoanalysis concerning lesbian couples undertaking Artificial Insemination by Donor (AID), this article explores the position of the third as it appears in the family project of lesbian couples. The third is explored by analysing fantasised constructions surrounding the image of the anonymous donor, the impact of the medical act of insemination on the women’s psychic economy and the search for other promising bases for triangulation. This article highlights the complexity of the issue of the third in same-sex parenting. It also addresses the debate on the notion of thirdness in contemporary psychoanalytic literature.
