Speaking is the core of humanity. Listening is the heart of psychoanalysis.
“Negation is a way of taking cognizance of what is repressed”

A Lacanian school’s primary concern is the formation of analysts. In addition to personal analysis and control analysis the clinical case conference is the third main element supporting this work.
Candidate analysts present cases to articulate what is at stake for each analysand, to gauge the effects of the analyst’s intervention, and to create and discuss questions arising from the work with the unconscious.
Sections are convened for the year, organized into small groups (overseen by senior analysts and sometimes guest analysts) then dissolved and reorganized with different configurations of candidates and analysts the following year.
The clinical case conference provides an essential part of the analyst formation because it relies on the mode of oral transmission via dynamic discussion of particular cases. The stakes are somewhat higher for a Lacanian School, taking into consideration we must not miss - in fact make room for - the impossible, the unsayable and thus face the ultimate emptiness of signification.
