ABSTRACT
Didier Anzieu, you have weighed up your experience with Lacan—in what respects it was analytic despite everything, and where a 'Lacan affair', something that was to break out later on, was present in it in embryo. We will now spend a moment talking about Lacan— not now as an analyst, but about his system of thought. You are known in France as one of the principal representatives of orthodox psychoanalysis. Lacan, with his cliques, is at the diametrically opposite pole. Could you describe, this time in detail, the major and fundamental differences rather than the anecdotal ones (like the fact that some of Lacan's sessions were cut short) between these two systems of thought: yours and Lacan's?
