World Association of Psychoanalysis

From HandWiki - Reading time: 2 min

The World Association of Psychoanalysis (WAP) was launched at the initiative of Jacques-Alain Miller in Buenos Aires on 3 January 1992. It was declared in Paris, four days later, on 7 January.[1] Its statutes[2] are modelled on Jacques Lacan's "Founding Act"[3] and adopt the principles outlined in his "Proposition" on the Pass.[4]

Components

The World Association of Psychoanalysis groups together the École de la Cause freudienne (France); the Escuela de la Orientación Lacaniana (Argentina); the Escuela Lacaniana de Psicoanálisis del Campo Freudiano (Spain); the Scuola lacaniana di psicoanalisi (Italy); the European Federation of the Schools of the WAP; the Escola Brasileira de Psicanálise (Brazil); the Nueva Escuela Lacaniana (Latin America); and the New Lacanian School.

Lacanian

With over 1,500 members worldwide, the WAP stands as the largest institutional structure dedicated to the training of psychoanalysts in the Lacanian orientation.
