École freudienne de Paris

The École Freudienne de Paris was a private psychoanalytic school founded in 1964 by the famous psychiatrist Jacques Lacan. It aimed to promote Lacan's innovative ideas about human psychology, language, and the unconscious, building on Sigmund Freud’s foundational theories. The school served as a center for research, training, and discussion among psychoanalysts and scholars interested in Lacan’s approach. It played a significant role in advancing psychoanalytic practice and thought in France and beyond until its dissolution in the early 1980s. The school contributed to shaping contemporary psychoanalytic discourse and fostering a community centered on Lacan’s theories.
