ABSTRACT
Structuralism in general, linguistics, Freudian thought and structural anthropology are all so many elements in the framework that supports the Lacanian edifice and gives it its equilibrium. Profound reflection and a recasting of these bundles of theories have allowed Lacan to renew Freudian psychoanalysis. But if Lacan is part of a general modern movement, he has been able to work alone. He has been able to propel the swift vehicle of his thought to the position of an audacious avant-garde which may be debatable, but which cannot be ignored or neglected by anyone who wishes to speak of the philosophy of man at the moment. This field has become much more open to us since Lacan rethought the Freudian notion of Verwerfung, once more in the light of the data of linguistics. Personally, the author convinced that psychoanalysis has taken a great step forward with the thought of Jacques Lacan. Its practice can now be enriched by a greater efficacity.
