:''9 January''
::[[Lacan]] unilaterally announces the dissolution of the [[EFP]] in a letter addressed to members and published in ''Le Monde''. He asks those who wish to continue working with him to make their intentions known in writings (the term used is un ''écrit de candidature''). He receives over one thousand letters within a week. [[Lacan]] is immediately challenged on the grounds that the [[EFP]] is an association covered by the terms of the 1901 [[law]]; its dissolution requires a two-thirds majority at a specially convened general meeting. That majority is finally obtained during the meeting of 27 September.
