THIS YEAR’S PARIS ENGLISH SEMINAR WILL TAKE PLACE ON MAY 11TH AND MAY 12TH, JUST AFTER THE NLS CONGRESS ON LACANIAN INTERPRETATION.

SINCE THE CONGRESS IS GOING TO BE FULLY TRANSLATED INTO ENGLISH, ENGLISH-SPEAKING COLLEAGUES MIGHT WANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS OPPORTUNITY TO REGISTER FOR BOTH EVENTS.

THE PES WILL BE HELD IN ENGLISH ONLY.

VENUE AND CONDITIONS OF REGISTRATION TO BE ANNOUNCED VERY SHORTLY .

A cure has a beginning, and, with a few exceptions, it does not last for all of the analysand’s life.A variety of stops and ways out can be elicited and differentiated.

When the cure is part of the training of the analyst it is expected to last until its « logical end »: what Lacan called the « pass » between the analysand and the analyst.

Sometimes —and should we say often— patients leave their analysis before reaching this stopping point and, at times, unexpectedly.

During the PES we will try to qualify the different ways a patient might put a stop to his cure: acting-out? act? error of the analyst in

the direction of the treatment? satisfaction after a therapeutic result?

In the book « Rapid therapeutic effects in psychoanalysis »,

Jacques-Alain Miller invited his colleagues to consider an analysis from the vantage point of a theory of cycles.

The theme of this year’s PES concerns issues that have not been treated systematically so far within the Lacanian orientation.

Jacques-Alain Miller and Eric Laurent have accepted to bring a personal contribution to the Seminar.
