Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study clarified the ethical relevance of Lacan's 60-70s psychoanalytical theory as well as that of Lacanian school in a later period. Especially, by shedding a light on the historical context, it was made clear that Lacan's thought was not concerned with psychiatric care in terms of a contribution to social control but as a practice of creation of other ways of living, emancipated from social pressure. This caracter of Lacan's thought can be helpful to better understand the actual clinical situation of developmental trouble.
