Scuola Lacaniana di Psicoanalisi del Campo Freudiano

What Scuola Lacaniana di Psicoanalisi del Campo Freudiano does

The Scuola Lacaniana di Psicoanalisi del Campo Freudiano (SLPcf) is a non-profit psychoanalytic training and scholarly organization founded in Milan in 2002 and one of the constituent Schools of the Associazione Mondiale di Psicoanalisi (AMP) and the Eurofederazione di Psicoanalisi (EFP). It operates an 8-person headquarters at Via G. Pecchio 12 in Milan and runs a domestic network of 14 city secretariats spanning Ancona, Bologna, Catania, Genoa, Milan, Naples, Padua, Palermo, Pisa, Rimini, Rome, Turin, Udine, and Venice, supplemented by three recognized specialization institutes (Istituto Freudiano, IPOL, ISDSF) and clinical sections. Its core educational technology is the Cartello (small working group of four plus one, devised by Lacan in 1964) combined with the Passe procedure (a 1967 device by which analysts testify to the termination of their analysis, conferring the AE title), which together form the school's analyst qualification pipeline.

The school's product portfolio is centered on publications and formation: it publishes the Italian editions of Jacques Lacan's complete Seminars (Books I–XXIII and additional volumes) and Jacques-Alain Miller's courses, distributes them via the LOL (Libreria Online Lacaniana) e-commerce platform, and produces seven journals including Appunti, Attualità Lacaniana, La Psicoanalisi, Scilicet, Méantal, Rete Lacan, and Lacaniana, alongside specialized series and conference proceedings. Complementary products include the Cartelli della SLPcf working-group platform, four specialized Laboratori on contemporary social themes (Trans, Migrants, Psychiatry, School Institutions), and Lacan Web Télévision, a YouTube channel created in partnership with the École de la Cause freudienne to distribute psychoanalytic video content with Italian subtitles.

The school's revenue mechanics rest on two streams: annual membership contributions (€350 for 2025 participation) and unit-priced publication sales (books at approximately €19.80–€26.00, journals by subscription or single copy). Distribution is community-led rather than commercial, relying on the 14 city secretariats, the LOL storefront, and the AMP/EFP international federation for reach. Customer segments are individual practicing psychoanalysts, psychologists, medical doctors, researchers, and students of the Lacanian orientation, with no enterprise customer concentration.

Core offering

The SLPcf provides psychoanalytic formation and training rooted in the Lacanian tradition, qualifying analysts through the Passe procedure (a 1967 Lacanian device) and operating Cartello working groups (four plus one). It delivers an extensive publication program through the LOL (Libreria Online Lacaniana) online bookstore, distributing Lacan's seminars, Jacques-Alain Miller's courses, and six journals (Appunti, Attualità Lacaniana, La Psicoanalisi, Scilicet, Méntal, Rete Lacan) to members and the broader psychoanalytic community.

Product overview

The Scuola Lacaniana di Psicoanalisi del Campo Freudiano (SLPcf) is a psychoanalytic training and scholarly organization — not a software product company. Its offerings constitute a portfolio of psychoanalytic education and publication services organized around the Lacanian orientation. The core educational device is the Cartello (small working group of four plus one), complemented by the Passe procedure for analyst formation. The publication program is the central product portfolio, centered on the LOL (Libreria Online Lacaniana) e-commerce platform distributing: the Jacques Lacan Seminar series (Seminari di Lacan, Books I–XXIII and additional volumes); the Seminari Miller series of Jacques-Alain Miller's courses; the journals Appunti, Attualità Lacaniana, Rete Lacan, La Psicoanalisi, Scilicet, Lacaniana, and Méntal; specialized series (Biblioteca di Attualità Lacaniana, Collana SLP, Annodamenti Lacaniani); clinical section and Antenna programs across Italian cities; specialized Laboratori on contemporary social issues; and the Cartelli web platform. A digital media channel, Lacan Web Télévision (YouTube), extends reach through video content. The organization is part of the AMP (World Association of Psychoanalysis) and the EFP (Eurofederation of Psychoanalysis) networks.
