The "formations of the unconscious" are those phenomena in which the laws of the unconscious are most clearly visible; the joke, the dream, the symptom, and the lapsus ('parapraxis').
Contents
Formations of the Unconscious
The fundamental mechanisms involved in the formations of the unconscious were referred to by Freud as the "laws of the unconscious," condensation and displacement, which Lacan redefines as metaphor and metonymy.
Formation of the Analysts
The "formation of analysts" (formation des analystes) means the training of psychoanalysts.[1]
Formations of the Ego
The "formations of the ego" are the three elements related to the ego: the superego, the ideal ego, and the ego-ideal.
