Later though (1975) he will state that paranoid psychosis and personality are the same thing. One name stands out by its absence from the list ofdedication: that of Clérambault. It was because of their differences that Lacan failed his agrégation. At that time Lacan declares that in his thesis he was against "mental automatism," Clérambault's theory.
