To “make the Laplanchean topic work”
Keywords:

Jean Laplanche was an exceptional thinker, a creative, inspiring and consistent author who, according to one of his best-known formulations, “made psychoanalysis work”, facing, with methodological rigor, the complexity of the human spirit.
“Three meanings of the word ‘unconscious’ within the scope of the theory of generalized seduction” is an example of this “making it work”. This is evidence of the constant movement of translation, detranslation and retranslation in his work, a necessary effort to find expanded meanings in the enigmas proposed by our practice with regard to the human soul and our method.
