“Those who enter this School will undertake to fulfil a task that is subject to both internal and external supervision…
To carry out this work we shall adopt the principle of sustained elaboration in small groups. Each group (we have a name to
designate them) will be composed of at least three people, five at most, four is the right balance. PLUS ONE responsible
for the selection, the discussion and the outcome to be accorded to the work of each.”
Jacques Lacan, Founding Act,
