In psychoanalytic theory, aphanisis (; from the Greek ἀφάνισις aphanisis, "disappearance") is the disappearance of sexual desire. The etymology of the term refers to it as the absence of brilliance in the astronomical sense such as the fading or the disappearance of a star. Psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan used the term in reference to the fading or disappearance of the subject.

Sinthome () is a concept introduced by Jacques Lacan in his seminar Le sinthome (1975–76). It redefines the psychoanalytic symptom in terms of the role of the subject outside of analysis, where enjoyment is made possible through creative identification with the symptom.
