[[Lacan]] argues that the stress put by [[ego-psychology]] on the [[adaptation]] of the [[patient]] to [[reality]] reduces [[psychoanalysis]] to an instrument of social control and conformity.

He sees this as a complete betrayal of [[psychoanalysis]], which he regards as an essentially subversive [[practice]].

[[Lacan]] regards it as significant that the [[adaptation]] theme was developed by the European [[psychoanalyst]]s who had emigrated to the USA in the late 1930s.
