Presentation on Psychical Causality > The Function and Field of Speech 237 and Language in Psychoanalysis > *Preface* > *Introduction* 242
Theoretical move: Lacan diagnoses the deterioration of psychoanalytic discourse as a systematic abandonment of the foundation of speech and language, driven by imaginary and adaptive trends (especially in American ego psychology), and argues that Freudian concepts can only be properly grasped when oriented within a field of language and the function of speech.
This is also where its culmination is now inducing a return by raising the question of what symbolic sanction is to be attributed to fantasies in their interpretation… a clear-cut reaction is working in favor of a return to symbolization as the crux of technique.
