At the Rome Congress of Romance Language Psychoanalysts, on the [[{{Y}}|26th of September, 1953]], [[Lacan]] delivered a paper entitled "[[Fonction et champ de la parole et du langage en psychana­lyse]]" ("[[The function and field of speech and language in psychoanalysis]]"), today often referred to as "[[The Function and Field of Speech and Language in Psychoanalysis|Discours de Rome]]" ("[[The Function and Field of Speech and Language in Psychoanalysis|Rome Discourse]]").<ref>"[[The Function and Field of Speech and Language in Psychoanalysis|Fonction et champ de la parole et du langage en psychana­lyse]]." ''[[Écrits]]''. Paris: Seuil, 1966: 237-322 ["[[The Function and Field of Speech and Language in Psychoanalysis]]." Trans. [[Alan Sheridan]]. ''[[Écrits: A Selection]]''. London: Tavistock, 1977; New York: W.W. Nortion & Co., 1977: 30-113].

Also in 1953This paper, often referred to as the [[LacanRome Discourse]] and a group of colleagues left the '''''marked [[Société psychanalytique de ParisLacan]]''''' (s break with the analytic establishment and the [[SPPformation]]) to form the '''''of his own [[Société Française de Psychanalyseschool]]''''' (of [[SFPpsychoanalytic theory|psychoanalytic thought]]).

Also in 1953, [[Lacan]] and a group of colleagues left the '''''[[Société psychanalytique de Paris]]''''' ([[SPP]]) to form the '''''[[Société Française de Psychanalyse]]''''' ([[SFP]]). The [[The Function and Field of Speech and Language in Psychoanalysis|Rome Discourse]] came to be seen as the founding document of the [[SFP]], and of a new direction in [[psychoanalysis]]. ==Language== The paper, the founding statement of Lacanian theory, defines [[psychoanalysis]] as a practice of [[speech]] and a theory of the [[speech|speaking]] [[subject]]. [[Psychoanalysis]], he asserts, is distinguished from other disciplines in that the [[analyst]] works on the [[subject]]'s [[speech]]. He points out that [[Freud]] often referred to [[language]], particularly when he was focusing on the [[unconscious]]. After all, [[language]] is the "[[talking cure]]".  ===Three Orders=== The theory of the three interacting orders, the Symbolic, the Imaginary and the Real, first appears in detail in this paper. These orders can be conceived as different planes of existence which, though interconnected, are independent realities, each order being concerned with different functions.
