I started this text by immediately abandoning it.
It was too complex at first glance.
Then I went back to the text and started reading it from the beginning, in a painstaking way.

The advantages of the text are:
-focus on the thesis proposed by the author, that is the educational dimension (without too much information on Lacan and his philosophy).
- quotes are balanced.
- the points are discussed and expanded in a progressive way, with some clinical case examples that allow the reader to have concrete applications.
- the figures are simple and clear.

I liked to read Lacan oriented to education, my actual field of research. The issues of the Other, the meeting with ourselves via the Other, are scaffolded by the teacher. So, what about developing the idea of the OBSERVER TEACHER? the teacher that observes and guides the development and the learning? An external observater before that this skill is mastered and became internal.

“The function of the educator consists of a mettre en jeu incompletude de l’Autre, pour que le subjet puisse y loger sa déstinée. Mieux anchors, cette faille ouvre sur la nécessité et la pluralisation du lien social comme nouveu point de capiton (…) l’éducateur habite les tropiques de la perte”
