FONTELES, Camila Santos Lima  and  COUTINHO, Denise Maria Barreto. Psychoanalysis and university: the Brazilian case. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2016, vol.50, n.4, pp.175-188. ISSN 0486-641X.

The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that the relationship between psychoanalysis and the Brazilian university also has its genesis in the very movement of Sigmund Freud's creation of psychoanalysis. We start from the hypothesis that psychoanalysis in Brazilian universities has occurred simultaneously to the introduction of the psychoanalytic discourse in Brazil. We also highlight that university has always been a powerful way to spread psychoanalytic ideas. We present the trajectory of psychoanalysis, which was introduced into Brazilian universities via medical sciences in the early 20th century. We approach interactions between psychoanalysis and many other fields of study, especially psychology. The introduction of psychoanalysis in Brazil has still resounded throughout the university scenery, in which several fields of study reclaim psychoanalysis and are reclaimed by its practitioners.

Keywords : psychoanalysis in Brazil; history of psychoanalysis; studies on university.
