The Campus of the Freudian Cause School, which brings together the ECF’s teaching activities, welcomes anyone interested in psychoanalysis, regardless of age, circumstances, or level of education.
Every evening, every week, throughout the year, courses taught by practicing clinicians and members of the School make their research available to the widest possible audience through the study of a psychoanalytic concept. In doing so, they demonstrate the impact of Lacanian psychoanalysis on clinical practice and shed new light on so-called social debates: those discursive knots that constitute the discontent of civilization.
The topics provide an opportunity to demonstrate that undergoing a psychoanalytic experience is a way of refusing to surrender to the increasingly pervasive impasses of our societies. This year, the courses will address, among other topics, the question of the analyst’s desire in relation to the desire of the School; updates to the clinical approach to paranoia; science put to the test by psychoanalysis to challenge contemporary scientism; the orientation and treatment of depression in contemporary clinical practice; the pressing need for psychiatry oriented by Lacanian psychoanalysis; the conditions of a psychoanalytic pragmatics and their implications for the reception of symptoms today; speech in analysis as an unparalleled means of rekindling the desire to live; the interpretation of dreams in the analytic treatment, between the transference unconscious and the real unconscious; the knot linking theory, practice, and politics in Lacanian clinical work; and, finally, an exploration by a cartel of the pragmatics of the hole in the psychoanalytic experience.
By attending these classes, which are free from university restrictions, participants have the opportunity to engage with an instructor’s research and to propose their own contribution in a format to be determined in consultation with the instructor. This may take the form of an oral presentation, a written paper, participation in the preparation of a bibliography, or another format.
There are several ways to attend the ECF Campus. Each course is open and freely accessible to anyone who attends in person at the ECF premises. Alternatively, from anywhere in France or any country around the world, participants can register to attend a course by videoconference throughout the academic year. This format does not prevent them from proposing their own contribution alongside the instructor.

Thanks to Radio Lacan, you can listen to the first session of each course free of charge. All courses are taught in French.
