Until the publication of ''[[Écrits]]'', the main vector for the dissemination of his ideas was the weekly [[seminar] that began in 1953 and continued until shortly before his death. (confused over a period of more than two decades)
Editted transripts transcripts of the [[seminar]] began to be published during his lifetime, and twenty-six volumes re planned. ==Career== Lacan's career was dogged by controversy and regularly punctuated by conflicts with the psychoanalytic establishment, most of them focusing on his refusal to follow the conventions of the 'analytic hour' and his insistence on using short sessions of varying length during training analyses. In 1953 [[Lacan]] and others resigned from the [[Societe Psychanalytique de Paris]] ([[SPP]]) to found the [[Societe Psychanalytique de France]] ([[SPF]]). [[Lacan]]'s continued use of short sessions ensured that the latter was never recognized as a competent society by the [[International Psycho-Analytical Association]] ([[IPA]]). In 1963, similar issues led to a split in the new association and to the foundation of the [[Ecole Freudienne de Paris]] (Psychoanalytic School of Paris), which was unilaterally dissolved by [[Lacan]] himself in 1980.
