Life

Leclaire comes from a Jewish family. After studying medicine and neuropsychiatry, he became an analysand, student and colleague of Jacques Lacan . He taught at the École normal supérieure in Paris.

In the course of the internal disputes in the Sociéte Psychanalytique de Paris (SPP) in 1953, he joined the liberal wing together with Daniel Chardon Lagache , Françoise Dolto and Jacques Lacan and became a co-founder of the Société française de psychanalyse (SFP), which only a few Should exist for years. Leclaire was initially its secretary and later president of the society. From 1961 to 1965 he was also a member of the International Psychoanalytical Association (IPA). Together with Wladimir Granoff and François Perrier, he campaigned in vain for the SFP to be integrated into the IPA.

He later followed Lacan into the École Freudienne de Paris (EFP) founded by him . In 1968/69 Leclaire founded the Department of Psychoanalysis at the University of Paris VIII in Vincennes .
