==School==
The [[cartel]] is essentially a study group consisting of ''[[three ]]'' to ''five '' [[people ]] (though [[Lacan]] considers ''four '' the optimum [[number]]), plus a supervisor (known as a "[[plus-one]]"; [[Fr]]. (''[[plus-un]]'')) who moderates the group's work. A [[cartel]] is created when a group of people decide to work together on a [[particular ]] aspect of [[psychoanalytic theory]] which is of interest to [[them]], and it is then registered in the [[school]]'s [[list ]] of [[cartels]].
==Membership==
Although [[participation ]] in [[cartels]] plays an important part in the [[training]] (''[[formation]]'') of [[Lacan]]ian [[analysts]], membership of [[cartels]] is not restricted to members of the [[school]]. Indeed, [[Lacan]] welcomed the exchange of [[ideas ]] between [[analysts]] and those from [[other ]] disciplines, and saw the [[cartel]] as one [[structure]] which would serve to encourage this exchange.
==IPA==
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 Psycho-Analytical Association]] ([[IPA]]).
