After two decades devoted exclusively to training analysts and furthering worldwide institutional links , alongside the ongoing transcription of Lacan ’s Seminar , 2001 saw a return to the public stage Miller had occupied in the late sixties . In June 2001 , the journal of the SPP published an article that contained false and misleading information on Miller and the École de la Cause freudienne . When his request to have a short note published , rectifying the factual elements , was refused by the journal ’s editor , Miller turned to " enlightened public opinion " to state his case , publishing a first letter on 3 September 2001 . Its enthusiastic reception by France ’s intellectual community gave rise to five further letters which look in detail at the issues surrounding Lacan ’s 1963 " excommunication " from the IPA and the history of the psychoanalytic movement over the four ensuing decades . The third letter , penned in the wake of the September 11 attacks , also offers a reflection on terrorism and political action
