The '[[formations of the unconscious]]' are those phenomena in which the [[law]]s of the [[unconscious]] are most clearly visible.
The [[joke]], the [[dream]], the [[symptom]], and the [[lapsus]] ('[[parapraxis]]').
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]].
The 'formation of analysts' (''formation des analystes'') means the [[training]] of [[psychoanalyst]]s.
The 'formations of the ego' are the three elements related to the ego: the [[superego]], the [[ideal ego]], and the [[ego-ideal]].
