Introduction by Jacques-Alain Miller
Circumstances learning that M. Paul Duquenne had undertaken the translation of President Schreber’s Memoirs I arranged for their publication, in serial form, in the journal of the epistemological circle of the École normale supérieure, ‘Cahiers pour l’analyse’. I asked Jacques Lacan for this presentation which appeared in number 5, nov-dec 1966. The complete text, reviewed by Mme Nicole Sela, appeared in 1975, in the collection of the Champ freudien (Seuil). – J-A. Miller
