NLS: Societies – Groups – Initiatives

Diversity of the School

Several groups around the world inscribe their work in the NLS since it was founded in May 2003. This allows them to create working ties between each other but also with the extended psychoanalytic community of the WAP. Today, the NLS includes five Affiliated Societies, six Affiliated Groups, and four Associated Groups. Seven Initiatives are also part of the NLS.

Our School is thus present in 12 European countries as well as in Australia, Israel, Russia, the United States and Ukraine. In addition to its annual Congress, it organizes the events called Knottings Seminars and Questions of the School that allow the transfer of work to our School.

The various languages, the particular history of each group, the singular pathway of each member – all this contributes to the diversity of the School in the unity of the WAP.

Daniel Roy, Ruzanna Hakobyan, Eve Miller-Rose, Anne Ganivet

On June 21, 1964 Jacques Lacan founded his School of Psychoanalysis with the aim of assuring the formation of psychoanalysts, the transmission of psychoanalysis, and the re-conquering of the Freudian Field. The New Lacanian School (NLS), created in 2003 by Jacques-Alain Miller, is one of seven Schools founded within the framework of the World Association of Psychoanalysis (WAP). The NLS is a member of the EuroFederation of Psychoanalysis (EFP) that regroups the four European Schools of psychoanalysis oriented by Freud and Lacan’s teachings.
