Lacanian Psychoanalysis in ireland

ISLP follows Jacques Lacan’s proposal for a psychoanalytic school in his 1964 Founding Act whereby “… a work is to be accomplished – which, in the field Freud has opened up, restores the cutting ploughshare of its truth – which brings the original praxis that he instituted under the name of psychoanalysis back to the duty that that is incumbent on it in our world – which, by an assiduous criticism, exposes the deviations and compromises that deaden its progress by degrading its use.”

ISLP employs a circular structure for practitioners and students in the Freudian and Lacanian field to carry out scholarly psychoanalytic work. Since its launch in 2007, ISLP cartels have been fertile ground for the production of fruitful contributions to the psychoanalytic discourse in Ireland.
