Introduction

In this section you will find information about the Schools of the World Association of Psychoanalysis (WAP).

First you are introduced to the concept of the School, since it is this concept, rather than that of the society, that oriented Lacan in his Founding Act, in 1964.

You can also find information about the series of Schools that currently belong to the WAP and through which the concept of the School has been sustained, renewed and particularised.

The subsection on the cartel describes the working device that is the basic unit of the Schools.

Finally, in the discussion of the members’ titles of the Schools, you will also find information about the agencies and procedures by which these are obtained: the commission of guarantee and the device of the pass.

In each subsection, extracts from institutional and doctrinal texts are included as references on the theme under discussion.
