Lacan developed such a view of causality and determinism in his paper," The Purloined Letter" ( In his Ecrits: A selection, 1977) and in Seminar 11 ( 1994 [ 1964]). Briefly, he considers causality as belonging to the order of contingency, whereas its ensuing elaboration belongs to determinism. Both cause and determinism, moreover, stand in a clear underlying relation understood by way of the difference between repetition compulsion ( cause) and repetition ( determinism). The clinical application is found in the study of traumatic neurosis ( cf below, Chapter 12). For a more exten- sive discussion of Lacan's theory of causality and determinism, see Verhaeghe ( 2002b, pp. 119-145).
