What do we understand by the failure of the functioning of Lacan's School? The School had grown, Lacan's Seminar was renowned, Lacanian theory was everywhere. It was not for the lack of diffusion of the theory that there was a failure of the functioning. Central to the failure of the functioning of Lacan's School was the failure to form analysts who would be of the requisite level. A failure - perhaps an institutional regression - of his invention of the passe; an invention which joined others in the institutional inventory of Lacanianisms - patently diffused.
