The [[cartel]] is the basic working unit on which [[Lacan]] based his [[school]] of [[psychoanalysis]], the ''[[École Freudienne de Psychanalyse]]'' ([[EFP]]), and most [[Lacan]]ian associations continue to organize work in [[cartels]] today.
---
The [[cartel]] is essentially a study group consisting of three to five people (though [[Lacan]] cosniders four the optimum number), plus a supervisor (known as a '[[plus-one]]'; [[Fr]]. ''[[plus-un]]'') who moderates the group's work.
---
By organizing research work around a small-scale unit like the [[cartel]], [[Lacan]] hoped to avoid the effects of massification which he regarded as partly to blame for the sterility of the [[International PsyhcoPsycho-Analytical Association]] ([[IPA]]).
