Changes

After the failure of the negotiations between the Société française de psychanalyse (French Society for Psychoanalysis) and the International Psychoanalytical Association over whether to recognize Jacques Lacan as a training analyst, two groups were foundedhttp://www. causefreudienne.org/

One was the Association psychanalytique http://soc.enotes.com/psychoanalysis-encyclopedia/ecole-de France (French Psychoanalytic Association), which was founded on May 26, 1964, and became a member of the International Psychoanalytical Association even though it included a number of Lacanians. -la-cause-freudienne

The other was theÉcole After the failure of the negotiations between the Société française de [[psychanalyse ]] ([[French School of ]] [[Society]] for [[Psychoanalysis]]), founded by and the International [[Psychoanalytical]] [[Association]] over whether to recognize Jacques [[Lacan on June 21]] as a [[training]] [[analyst]], 1964two groups were founded.

Lacan dissolved this school by a letter dated January 5, 1980One was the [[Association psychanalytique de France]] (French [[Psychoanalytic]] Association), though its legal dissolution which was not voted founded on until September 27May 26, 1964, 1980and became a member of the [[International Psychoanalytical Association]] even though it included a [[number]] of Lacanians.

Then on February 21Lacan dissolved this school by a [[letter]] dated January 5, 1980, with his "letter to the thousand," which though its [[legal]] [[dissolution]] was a call to follow him, Lacan founded the Freudian cause, which he entrusted to Solange Faladé, Charles Melman, and Jacques-Alain Miller to direct. Following much discord and many departures, including the resignations of Faladé and Melman, Lacan established, as his base, theÉcole de la Cause freudienne (ECF, School of the Freudian Cause). Its statutes were modified not voted on until September 2427, 19931980.

Then on February 21, 1980, with his "letter to the thousand," which was a call to follow him, Lacan founded the Freudian [[cause]], which he entrusted to Solange Faladé, Charles Melman, and Jacques-[[Alain]] [[Miller]] to direct. Following much discord and many departures, including the resignations of Faladé and Melman, Lacan established, as his base, theÉcole de la [[Cause freudienne]] (ECF, School of the Freudian Cause). Its statutes were modified on September 24, 1993. The ECF is the largest and most important [[Lacanian]] association in France.  It has international connections with a number of other [[schools]] through the Association mondial de la psychanalyse ([[World]] Association of Psychoanalysis), founded in Paris in 1992.  The ECF is represented by [[Jacques-Alain Miller]], Lacan's son-in-law and [[literary ]] executor, and is led by a directorate of five members (who serve [[terms ]] of two years and are [[responsible ]] for its administration) and a council (which guides its orientation).

These titles are holdovers from the old École Freudienne de Paris. Also, a practicing analyst can declare his or her [[practice ]] within the school without the school certifying it.

The Association de [[la Cause freudienne ]] (Association of the Freudian Cause) was founded on November 1, 1992, to gather the fifteen regional [[associations ]] of the ECF, most of which publish a journal or bulletin.

Through the Association mondial de la psychanalyse and the Association de la fondation du [[champ ]] freudienne (Association for the [[Foundation of the Freudian Field]]), founded by Lacan in 1979 and directed by his daughter [[Judith ]] Miller, the Lacanian movement has an [[official ]] [[presence ]] in twenty-six foreign countries (and an especially important presence in [[Latin ]] America).

Two organizations have [[split ]] off from the ECF: theÉcole de psychanalyse Sigmund [[Freud ]] (The [[Sigmund Freud ]] School of Psychoanalysis), which was founded in May 1994 and which revived the experiment of the [[pass ]] (See [[Daniel Lagache]], "On the Experiment of the Pass" [1973]), and the Forums du champ lacanian (Forums of the Lacanian Field), which was founded in May 1999 by [[three ]] former presidents of the [[ECF]].

The École de la Cause freudienne [ECF] was founded in 1981 to restore the original [[power ]] and revolutionary effect of psychoanalysis. ECF, with its over 300 members, organizes many ongoing courses and conferences, maintains a large [[library ]] and promotes the teaching of psychoanalysis, particularly in the small "[[cartel]]" groups devised by Jacques Lacan.
