The School as intended by Jacques Lacan has psychoanalysis as its object. It provides training, guarantees the psychoanalyst’s relationship with it, and sets out to question it. Founded in January 1981, the École de la Cause freudienne was the last institutional initiative of Jacques Lacan, who was its first president. As a counter-experiment, it took over from the École freudienne de Paris, which he founded in 1964, before dissolving it in 1980. It is part of the movement to reconquer the Freudian field launched by Jacques Lacan on June 21, 1964. Since 1992, the ECF has seen the birth of the World Association of Psychoanalysis ( AMP), which now comprises seven schools. Since 2006, it has had the status of a publicly recognized psychoanalytic association.

  • Preparations for the restart, Laura Sokolowsky
    I extend my best wishes to you at the start of this new year placed under the sign of the present and future fight to defend our orientation, our practices, and our institutions. We have a duty to unite our forces in order to denounce the scientistic and technocratic vision of the world that has been imposed for decades on the field known as mental health.
  • A false intersubjectivity, Patricia Bosquin-Caroz
    At the end of 2025, we were stunned to discover the proliferation of expert centers within French public psychiatry. Funded by the FondaMental foundation, a privileged partner of the French government and promoter of "datadriven" biomedical psychiatry, these centers are part of the PERP (Priority Research Program and Equipment) and PROPSY (Precision Psychiatry Program) programs. Their mission is to collect data, produce new diagnostics and develop predictive models to be applied to the population through another program, French Minds.
  • What Resists in Psychoanalysis, Lilia Mahjoub
    In this School debate, which has opened up and taken a new turn, I note what Jacques-Alain Miller emphasises, namely that “it could be that psychoanalysis will eventually be eradicated from the land of France, and [that] we have only just learned this”. This came to us from outside: psychoanalysis was once again under attack.
