Although it would be interesting to speculate on the possible applications of this concept to the interrelationship between different cultural milieux and psychoanalysis, [[Lacan]] only gives one example of the [[c factor]]; ahistoricism, he argues, is the [[c factor]] of the culture of the United States.<ref>{{E}} p.37, 115</ref>
The "American way of life" revolves around such signifiers as '"happiness', '" "adaptation', '" "human relations' " and '"human engineering.'"<ref>{{E}} p.38</ref>
[[Lacan]] regards the [[c factor]] of United States culture as particularly antithetical to psychoanalysis, and sees it as largely responsible for the errors which have beset psychoanalytic theory in the USA (such as [[ego-psychology]]).
