Jacques-Marie Émile Lacan (April 13, 1901 – September 9, 1981) was a French psychiatrist and psychoanalyst.
He is one of the most important -- and most controversial -- figures in the history of psychoanalysis, but is also acknowledged for his far-reaching influence across a wide range of disciplines in the humanities and the social sciences.

1901 - 1938 |

1938 - 1953 |

1953 - 1963 |
Lacan begins his first public seminar (which he will continue to give annually until his death).
Thereafter, he rises to become a renowned and controversial figure in the international psychoanalytic community. |
1963 - 1980 |
Lacan leaves the SFP (after his "expulsion" from the IPA) and founds his own school, the École Freudienne de Paris (EFP).
Following the publication of the Écrits (1966), there is an explosion of interest in his work in France and abroad. |
1980 - 1981 |
Lacan single-handedly dissolves the EFP and creates in its stead the Cause freudienne.
