- Abstract
- After describing the institutional development of French psychoanalysis, the author presents different important theories of selected individual psychoanalysts from the neighbouring country. Psychoanalysis could only slowly gain ground in France, much later than when the Freudian concepts were accepted in other European countries and the United States. The social and cultural reasons for this delay are pointed out. When Jacques Lacan introduced the technique of temporal variable sessions, severe institutional conflicts occurred, which led to a split in French psychoanalysis. The author tries to highlight the most important non-Lacanian developmental lines by presenting authors, such as Serge Viderman, Daniel Lagache, Serge Lebovici, Pierre Marty, Rene Diatkine, Rene Roussillon, Andre Green, Jean Laplanche and others.
