Changes

The [[Société Parisienne de Psychanalyse]] ('''SPP'''), founded in 1926, was [[active ]] until the Second [[World ]] War. After losing many members in the [[conflict ]] it resumed its activities in 1946. Two years later Lacan become a member of the 'committee on teaching'.

In 1953 it was proposed to found an Institute of [[Psychoanalysis]]. Only physicieans were to be permitted to become members. Understandably, [[psychoanalysts ]] who were not physicians raised a protest against these proposals. There was a disagreement [[about ]] [[analytic ]] [[practice ]] methods.

After a short period of [[time]], [[Lacan]] resigned from his influential [[position ]] as director and, together with a few friends, founded a new [[Société Française de Psychanalyse]] ([[SFP]]). ([[Lacan]] was a member of the [[SPP]] until 1953. [[Lacan]] (and many of his colleagues) [[left ]] the [[SPP]] to [[form ]] (a new group) the [[Société Française de Psychanalyse]] ([[SFP]]) ("[[French Psychoanalytic Society]]").)

The [[SPP]] was a member [[body ]] of the [[International Psycho-Analytical Association]] ('''[[IPA]]''').
