École Freudienne de Paris

The École Freudienne de Paris (EFP) was a French psychoanalytic professional body formed in 1963, of which Jacques Lacan was a founding member.

Lacan had been a member of the Société Française de Psychanalyse (SFP). In 1963 the International Psychoanalytical Association demanded that Lacan be removed from the list of training analysts with the organisation. 1 As a result Lacan left the SFP.

In June 1964 he published the "Founding Act" 2 to establish his own school which became known as the École Freudienne de Paris (EFP).

In 1968, a group disputing the EFP's accreditation process broke away to form the Organisation psychanalytique de langue française, also known as the "Quatrième groupe".

In January 1980, Lacan announced the dissolution of the EFP. 3 He then founded another organisation, La cause freudienne.
