Reference by Jacques Lacan
Jacques Lacan refers to this paper in Seminar IV : 12th December 1956. See Paragraph 14 & 28 of the Earl’s Court Collective’s translation.
From para 14 (provisional translation) : Alice Balint tells us…, that these things are done as they have always been done -, there, where the relationship is natural -, that is, in the wild, – where the child’s contact with the mother is maintained.
See Seminar IV : The Object Relation & Freudian Structures 1956-1957 : begins 21st November 1956 : Jacques Lacan for Earl’s Court Collectives’ translations.
