The first [[seminar]], open to the public, takes place at [[Sainte-Anne Hospital]] just after the creation of the [[S.F.P]] ([[Société Française de Psychanalyse]]). [[Lacan]] cuts in the study of [[Freud]] by dint of his theory on the [[imaginary]], the [[symbolic]] and the [[real]]. The focal point of the discussion is the direction of the [[cure]]. Participants are allowed to make presentations, comments and objections. Through the case histories of [[Freud]], [[Klein]], Kris and [[Balint]], the debate elucidates on the convergence of [[psychoanalysis]], [[philosophy]], [[theology]], [[linguistics]] and [[game theory]]. In keeping with this heterogeneous approach, [[Lacan]] will further appeal to the [[science]] of [[optics]] to systematize his analyses of the [[specular relation]]. After his [[schema]] of the [[inverted bouquet]] the [[mirror stage]] becomes part of the [[topography]] of the [[Imaginary]]. As to the ''[[méconnaissance]]'' that characterizes the [[ego]], it is associated with ''[[Verneinung]]'' (''[[dénégation]]''): "...everyday [[speech]] runs against failure of [[recognition]], ''[[méconnaissance]]'', which is the source of ''[[Verneinung]]''." He closes the [[seminar]] pondering on the [[role]] of the [[analyst]]: "...if the subject commits himself to searching after [[truth]] as such, it is because he places himself in the dimension of ignorance, what [[analyst]]s call readiness to the [[transference]]. The [[analyst]]'s ignorance is also worth of consideration. He doesn't have to guide the [[subject]] to [[knowledge]], but on to the paths by which access to this [[knowledge]] is gained. [[Psychoanalysis]] is a [[dialectic]]s, an [[art]] of conversation."
