École Freudienne

The École Freudienne was a private educational institution founded in 1985 by psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan in France. It aimed to promote Lacan's theories of psychoanalysis, focusing on language, desire, and the unconscious mind. The school served as a center for training analysts, conducting research, and fostering discussions around Lacanian ideas. It played a significant role in revitalizing psychoanalytic thought and influencing contemporary psychoanalytic practice. The École Freudienne operated until 1988, when it dissolved following Lacan’s death, leaving a lasting impact on psychoanalytic theory and its academic community.
