Lacanian work is an established feature of the psychoanalytic tradition in France, Belgium, Argentina, Spain and many other European and non-European countries. It has been estimated that about half the world’s analytic population (of approximately 20,000 practitioners) are trained in Lacanian frameworks, although in many countries they represent either more or less than this average. In Britain, although Lacanian psychoanalysis was initially appropriated by film and literary theory, its importance for clinical work has been progressively recognised. Many of those involved in CFAR have done a first training in other forms of psychotherapy or psychoanalysis, and have come to appreciate the clinical significance of Lacanian ideas for their practice. Indeed, nearly all the Lacanian groups operating today have close links with clinical institutions.
