About

The Centre for Freudian Analysis and Research was founded in 1985 with the aim of promoting and developing psychoanalysis in Britain from a Freudian and Lacanian perspective.

For some years, Lacan’s rereading and rethinking of Freud was neglected in the Anglophone world. Cultural barriers meant that Lacanian work was slow to get started in Britain and the United States. Today this situation is changing, with Lacanian psychoanalysts making up more than half of the world’s population of analytic practitioners and in the UK and the USA there is a lively and growing culture of training groups, seminars, conferences and publications, making Lacan’s ideas more accessible and widely disseminated.
CFAR has now been developing the clinical aspect of Lacanian psychoanalysis in the UK for over 30 years, offering introductory, advanced and clinical study programmes as well as a public lecture programme open to all.
