17 June:session of 8 January 1958, chapter 8, “La forclusion du nom-du-père”, in the French.
In this session on the foreclosure of the Name-of-the-Father, Lacan reviews his thesis about the origins of psychosis advanced in his Seminar III and critically discusses Gregory Bateson's double bind thesis, which was subsequently influential on Ronald Laing. Lacan also uses the occasion to stress the importance of his concept of the big Other to an understanding of the differences between the imaginary and the symbolic.
Chapter 8 is the beginning of the second trimester. Lacan has returned from a break and the seminar is about to take a new direction: this session becomes the first of several in which he expounds and reconfigures Freud's theory of the Oedipus complex.
