1901
to
1938
Lacan studies medicine and psychiatry and completes his doctoral thesis on paranoid psychosis.[1]

He presents a paper on the mirror stage -- his first theoretical contribution to psychoanalysis -- at a conference of the International Psycho-Analytical Association (IPA) in Marienbad.

1938
to
1953
Lacan is a member of the (IPA affiliated) Société psychanalytique de Paris (SPP) until he resigns to join the Société Française de Psychanalyse (SFP).
1953
to
1963
Lacan begins his first public seminar (which he will continue to give annually until his death).

Thereafter, he rises to become a renowned and controversial figure in the international psychoanalytic community.

1963
to
1980
Lacan leaves the SFP (after his "expulsion" from the IPA) and founds his own school, the École Freudienne de Paris (EFP).

Following the publication of the Écrits (1966), there is an explosion of interest in his work in France and abroad.

1980
to
1981
Lacan single-handedly dissolves the EFP and creates in its stead the Cause freudienne.[2]

However, Lacan soon dissolves the Cause freudienne and replaces it with the École de la Cause freudienne.
