→Jacques Lacan
However, it is also important to note that [[Lacan]]'s criticisms of the [[IPA]] do not imply a criticism of the psychoanalytic institution ''per se''; while [[Lacan]] is very critical of the dangers that beset all psychoanalytic institutions, the fact that he himself founded one is evidence that he thought that some kind of institutional framework was necessary for [[psychoanalysts]].
Thus [[Lacan]] is just as skceptical of those [[analyst]]s who reject all institutions as he is of those who turn the [[institution]] into a kind of [[church]].
Many of [[Lacan]]'s ideas cannot be understood without some understanding of the history of the [[EFP]] (1964-80), especially those of [[Lacan]]'s ideas which relate to the [[training]] of [[analyst]]s.
Some of these groups still exist today, as does the [[ECF]].
