“Ethics of psychoanalysis, which is the praxis of its theory”.
The Israeli Freudian Movement was founded in 1985. Certain events made our movement in to what we call nowadays, the GIEP-NLS. The GIEP is a member of the New Lacanian School, NLS, which is one of the seven schools of the World Association of Psychoanalysis, WAP. The formal languages of the School are French and English, but because the international community is multi language in its nature (Greece, Ireland, England, Belgium, Switzerland, Poland, Denmark, Portugal, Australia, Austria, Bulgaria, Canada and the United States) there is an “ingathering of the exiles” of languages.
Jacques Lacan defined the School he founded as “an organism within which a work must be carried out — a work which, in the field opened by Freud, restores the cutting edge of its truth; which brings the original praxis that he instituted under the name of psychoanalysis back to the duty that befits it in our world…”
(“The Founding Act,” Jacques Lacan, 1964).
Lacan’s desire went beyond Oedipus, and from this there emerged not an analytic society but a School composed of a series of exceptions. “…This is the paradox of the School, and its wager — which in fact assumes that a community is possible among subjects who know the nature of semblants, and for whom the ideal, identical for all, is nothing other than a cause, one that each experiences at the level of his or her own subjective solitude, as a subjective choice — alienating, even forced — and bound up with loss.”
(“The Turin Theory of the Subject of the School,” J.-A. Miller, 2000).
The GIEP is grounded in the ongoing formation undertaken by its analysts, through personal analysis and supervision. The GIEP includes members registered as GIEP members, and some who are also members of the School. However, it is not necessary to be a GIEP member in order to take part in the work.
GIEP events are open to anyone with an interest in psychoanalysis and the Lacanian orientation.
“Lacan institutes a collective formation his first words are to dissociate, and bring forward the subjective loneliness, because it is a question with the Freudian School of Paris, of a collective formation which does not pretend to make subjective loneliness disappear, but which, on the contrary, founds itself upon it, manifests it, reveals it. It is the paradox of the School”.
We promote a broad variety of programs in the fields of teaching and transmitting the Lacanian orientation, relying on our desire and upon our working transference. In the heart of our discourse lies the question “how to teach what can not be taught“ (Lacan’s paradoxes).The GIEP-NLS is involved in constant psychoanalytical training of its members, touching upon the direction of the treatment and upon the reading of contemporary symptoms in our society, our civilization, with its discontents.
Members participate in a variety of activities : seminars, clinical presentations, cartels and keep a lively dialogue between the analytical and other discourses (science, politics, art)
We have an active library and we publish a journal named ‘et Lacan’, twice a year.
We invite anyone who has interest in the Lacanian orientation to join our activities.
