The World Association of Psychoanalysis (WAP) is an organisation dedicated to promoting the development of psychoanalysis across the world. It follows the teaching of the French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan, and was launched at the initiative of his student and son-in-law Jacques-Alain Miller in Buenos Aires on 3 January 1992. It was then officially declared in Paris four days later.[1] Its statutes[2] are modelled on Lacan's "Founding Act"[3] and adopt the principles outlined in his "Proposition" on the Pass.[4]
