The '''Société Française de [[Psychanalyse]]''' ('''SFP''') was a [[French]] [[psychoanalytic]] professional [[body]] formed in 1953, in a [[split]] from the main body of French [[psychoanalysts]], the [[Paris Psychoanalytic Society|''Société Parisienne de Psychanalyse'']] (SPP).

The SFP was eventually dissolved in 1965, its resources and membership [[being]] split between the two new bodies, the [[Association Psychanalytique de France]] (APF),<ref>David Macey, Introduction, Jacques [[Lacan]], ''The Four Fundamental [[Concepts]] of [[Psycho]]-[[Analysis]]'' (1994[1964[) p. xxxv</ref> and the [[École Freudienne de Paris]] (EFP), founded by [[Jacques Lacan]].<ref>E. Roudinesco, ''Jacques Lacan'' (1999) p. 293-4</ref>

==Foundation==

The early 1950s were a [[time]] of growing disagreements within the SPP, mainly centred on the question of the [[training]] of [[analysts]].<ref>Roudinesco, p. 201</ref> Despite wishing himself to avoid a split, Lacan was drawn into the dissident movement led by [[Daniel Lagache]], as a result of his own [[separate]] dispute with the president [[Sacha Nacht]] over his [[practice]] of "[[short sessions]]".<ref>[http://www.spp.asso.fr/Main/HistoirePsy/Histoire/Items/8.htm SPP history of the discussions on psychoanalytic technique (French language)] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070309200737/http://www.spp.asso.fr/main/HistoirePsy/Histoire/Items/8.htm |date=2007-03-09 }}</ref>

After a year of disagreements and a vote of no confidence, five members of the SPP resigned from the body in June 1953.<ref>[http://www.spp.asso.fr/Main/HistoirePsy/Histoire/Items/9.htm SPP history of the schism (French language)] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070308054958/http://www.spp.asso.fr/main/HistoirePsy/Histoire/Items/9.htm |date=2007-03-08 }}</ref> These five were Lacan, Lagache, [[Françoise Dolto|Dolto]], Favez-Boutonnier and Reverchon-Jouve.

Unfortunately an unexpected by-product of the split was to deprive the new group, who termed themselves the Société Française de Psychanalyse (SFP), of membership of the [[International Psychoanalytical Association]] (IPA), to which they now had to seek out affiliation.<ref>{{cite journal |last1= Hartmann |first1= Heintz |date=Jan 1953|title=XVIIIth Congress of the International Psychoanalytical Association, Report from the President |journal=[[October (journal)|October]] |volume=40 |author2= Sauer, R; Birkenhake, S; Kühn, R; Wittekind, C; Schrott, Km; Martus, P |issue= 1 |pages= 121–7 |issn= 0360-3016 |pmid= 9422567}}, p72</ref>

==Affiliation==
Over the following years a [[complex]] [[process]] of negotiation was to take [[place]] to determine the status of the SFP within the IPA. Lacan’s practice, with his controversial innovation of variable-length sessions, and the critical stance he took towards much of the accepted orthodoxy of psychoanalytic [[theory]] and practice was a central stumbling-block to [[recognition]] of the new [[society]].<ref>Roudinesco, p. 245-6</ref>

Eventually, in August 1963, a condition was set by the IPA that the registration of the SFP was dependent upon Lacan being removed from the [[list]] of training analysts with the organisation:<ref>{{cite journal |last1= The Study Group SFP |date=Jan 1963|title=The International Psychoanalytical Association Minute |journal=[[October (journal)|October]] |volume=40 |author2= Sauer, R; Birkenhake, S; Kühn, R; Wittekind, C; Schrott, Km; Martus, P |issue= 1 |pages= 121–7 |issn= 0360-3016 |pmid= 9422567}}, p79</ref> as he himself put it, “this affiliation is to be accepted only if a [[guarantee]] is given that my teaching may ''never again'' be sanctioned by the [[Association]] as far as the training of analysts is concerned”.<ref>Lacan, ''The Four Fundamental Concepts'' p. 3</ref>

Lacan refused such a condition and [[left]] the SFP together with many of its members in June 1964 to set up the EFP independently of the IPA. The remaining membership of the SFP, including many of Lacan's own pupils such as [[Jean Laplanche]], were to be recognised by the IPA the following year as part of a new body, the APF.<ref>Macey, p. xxxv</ref>

==Outcome==
[[w:Wikipedia:Elisabeth Roudinesco]] concluded that “the 1963-4 break was as disastrous for the IPA as it was for the [[development]] of Lacanianism”.<ref>Roudinesco, p. 259</ref>
