ECF- The ECF Campus 2024-2025

The Campus de l'École de la Cause freudienne, which brings together the ECF's courses, welcomes all participants interested in psychoanalysis, whatever their age, status or level of studies.

Every evening, every week, throughout the year, the practitioners who are members of the School elaborate their research for as many people as possible through the study of a psychoanalytic concept. In this way, they show the impact of Lacanian psychoanalysis in clinical practice and shed new light on the so-called social debates which are also knots of discourse constituting the malaise in civilisation.

The themes are conducive to demonstrating that the experience of an analysis is a way of not giving up in the face of the growing impasses of our societies. Among other topics, the themes addressed will include the drive, the object a, the symptom, jouissance, sublimation, the real, truth, ethics, the superego, and desire. This year, the Campus also offers two introductory courses on psychoanalysis: one on the intimacy of unconscious desire, and the other on the clinic of the child in psychoanalysis.

By following these courses, free from university obligations, you can choose to participate in a professor's research and contribute to it by proposing a paper, the form of which will be defined with the professor: oral presentation, written paper, participation in the preparation of a bibliography, etc.

The ECF Campus can be attended in different ways. Each course is open and freely accessible to all those who come to follow it on ECF premises. Moreover, throughout France and from anywhere in the world, it is possible to register to follow a course by videoconference during the year.

Thanks to Radio Lacan, you can listen to the first class of each course free of charge.

Episode 1
E 11. Certainty and Responsibility
By Yves-Claude Stavy
The programme throughout the year proposes to explore these two terms - certainty and responsibility - from an epistemological and clinical point of view, starting from "The un-heard-of of real that iterates". Yves-Claude Stavy will draw on Freud and Lacan's precise distinction between certainty, belief, unbelief and conviction.
To examine a crucial observation : a gulf separates the category of certainty and that of the experienced, incurable, from that which is nevertheless managed to sift in the personal experience of an analysis brought to its conclusion. We will also differentiate : the analyst's stake in the analysand-analyst couple and from where the analyst makes his or her reading of the case of the person who comes to him or her.

Episode 2
E5. The true and the false analytical act
By Philippe Hellebois
Starting from Seminar XV, "The Psychoanalytic Act", this year Philippe Hellebois will bring out the dimension of traversal that inaugurates the act, "between separation and rebirth". Following the teaching of Freud and Lacan, he invites us to explore the different levels of the act, underlining the unprecedented nature of the analytic experience, which remains inseparable from the inaugural act of the analyst.

E7. Ethics Today
By Bénédicte Jullien
How to find a compass in contemporary society, where the capitalist discourse tends to annul and erase the place of the subject? Bénédicte Jullien sets out to explore this highly topical dimension, through the prism of psychoanalytic ethics, and what it teaches us about subjective responsibility and the individual responses that analysis can bring.

E12. The Clinic of the Child in Psychoanalysis
By Yves Vanderveken
Faced with the new symptomatic forms with which the child responds to the coordinates of his time, Yves Vanderveken argues that it is necessary to restore and update the clinic of the child, as the subject of the unconscious. He proposes to study the concepts coined by Freud and Lacan in reference to the child, to the field of childhood and to the logic of the different forms of the advent of the subject, aiming at an argiomento, a return to these fundamental concepts.

E2. The Word as an Oral Object
By Isabelle Orrado
Starting from Seminar XI and Lacan's questioning of drive satisfaction, Isabelle Orrado will review psychoanalytic teaching from the notion of the oral drive and its "indifferent" object, as Freud had already pointed out. The course will explore this place of intertwining between oral and vocal drives in its multiple clinical variants, from neurosis to psychosis.
