FATHER
From very early on in his work, Lacan lays great importance on the role of the father in psychic structure.
In hi 1938 article on the family, he attributes the importance of the Oedipus complex to the fact that it combines in the figure of the father two almost conflicting functions: the protective function and the prohibitive function.
He also points to the contemporary social decline in the paternal imago as the cause of current psychopathological peculiarities.[1]
The father continues to be a constant theme of Lacan's work thereafter.
