CPCT - A Response to the Malaise in Society?The Psychoanalytic Centers for Consultations and Treatment (CPCT) were created by Jacques-Alain Miller in 2003 in France. Since then more than a dozen centers have been opened in Europe and Israel. Their particularity? Psychoanalysts receive patients for a limited time and free of charge. Why were they created? How do they function? How do they support the psychoanalytic discourse? We will see that these very successful centers are both a response to crisis and a place of response.
