Questions about time

[cava]

In level 3, lesson 7, Caroline ends by talking about French culture and time. She mentions that the French psychoanalyst, Lacan, didn't believe that time, as such, existed.
I'm curious if anyone knows if he billed by the hour?

Thanks so much for your message !
Caroline’s comment refers to Jacques Lacan’s well-known idea that “time” in a psychoanalytic session isn’t fixed but subjective. In practice, Lacan was actually famous for doing variable-length sessions — sometimes very short, sometimes longer — so he didn’t bill by the traditional 50-minute hour. Instead, he charged per session, regardless of its duration.
So yes, he questioned the idea of structured time… and he billed accordingly!
