Master Lacanian Psychoanalysis – Final exam to obtain certification.

Note from the educational team : Lacanian psychoanalysis is a complex and rich theoretical edifice that requires in-depth study and clinical practice.

This course offers a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental concepts developed by Jacques Lacan, in constant dialogue with Freudian discovery. You will learn how Lacan reinterprets Freudian metapsychology through the prism of structural linguistics, anthropology, topology and logic, to shed new light on the unconscious, language, desire and jouissance.

This course is intended for all those who wish to acquire a solid knowledge of Lacanian theory and its clinical applications, whether for professional practice or for personal enrichment. It does not give access to the regulated titles of psychologist or psychotherapist, which requires a specific training and a personal analysis. However, it provides the conceptual and practical bases to orient oneself in the Lacanian clinic and to understand the stakes of the analytic experience.

Throughout this course, you will be invited to question your relationship to the unconscious, to language and to knowledge. You will discover how Lacanian psychoanalysis subverts the notions of subject, truth and identity, to reveal the irreducible singularity of desire. You will also be led to reflect on the ethical and political dimensions of psychoanalysis, as a discourse that challenges the norms and ideals of the social bond.

By enrolling in this course, you choose to embark on a demanding but exciting journey to the heart of the Lacanian conceptual edifice. You will thus contribute to keeping alive the subversive and emancipatory spirit of Lacanian psychoanalysis, in the face of the challenges of the contemporary world.
