[[Lacanianism|Lacanian psychoanalysis]], which integrates psychoanalysis with [[structural linguistics]] and [[Hegel]]ian philosophy, is especially popular in France and parts of Latin America. Lacanian psychoanalysis is a departure from the traditional British and American psychoanalysis. [[Jacques Lacan]] frequently used the phrase "retourner à Freud" ("return to Freud") in his seminars and writings, as he claimed that his theories were an extension of Freud's own, contrary to those of Anna Freud, the Ego Psychology, [[object relations]] and "self" theories and also claims the necessity of reading Freud's complete works, not only a part of them. Lacan's concepts concern the "[[mirror stage]]", [[The Real|the "Real"]], [[The Imaginary (psychoanalysis)|the "Imaginary"]], and [[The Symbolic|the "Symbolic"]], and the claim that "the unconscious is structured as a language."<ref>[[Jacques Lacan|Lacan, Jacques]]. 2006.

Though a major influence on psychoanalysis in France and parts of Latin America, Lacan and his ideas have taken longer to be translated into English and he has thus had a lesser impact on psychoanalysis and psychotherapy in the English-speaking world. In the United Kingdom and the United States, his ideas are most widely used to analyze texts in [[literary theory]].<ref>Evans, Dylan. 2005. "From Lacan to Darwin."

Evanston: [[Northwestern University Press]].</ref> Due to his increasingly critical stance towards the deviation from Freud's thought, often singling out particular texts and readings from his colleagues, Lacan was excluded from acting as a training analyst in the IPA, thus leading him to create his own school in order to maintain an [[Lacanian movement|institutional structure]] for the many candidates who desired to continue their analysis with him.<ref>[[Jacques Lacan|Lacan, Jacques]]. 1990 [1974].
