(увы, о нём лично, а не о его теориях, причём речь, наск. я понимаю, идёт о временах Нортфильдских экспериментов)

Jacques Lacan was the first person to alert the French to the advances taking place in military psychiatry in England. He spent September 1945 in London to find out more. His intuition enabled him to admire greatly the article written by Bion and Rickman in November 1943, ‘which is only six newspaper columns, but which will be noted in the history of psychiatry’. He had a long interview with the two pioneers. Here are his impressions: 'these two men, of whom it could be said that the flame of creation burns within - in one as if frozen in an immobile and moonlike mask, accentuated by the fine commas of a black moustache, which, no less than the large physique and the swimmer’s chest that hold it up, contradict Kretschmer’s formulae, when everything tells us that we are in the presence of one of those beings who are solitary in even their highest achievements, and as we find confirmed in this man’s adventures in Flanders, where he followed his tank, switch in hand, into the breach, and paradoxically thus forced the iron gates of fate…' Jacques Lacan, ‘Le psychiatrie anglaise et la guerre’, Évolution Psychiatrique, 1947.
