CARDOSO, Ubirajara Cardoso de. Lacan’s theory of the four discourses, psychoanalytical research and social relations among psychoanalysts. []. , 12, 22, pp.155-166. ISSN 1415-1138.

The text is about the theory of the four fundamental discourses that Lacan, in 1969, proposed with the following names: “Master”, “University”, “Hysteric” and “Analyst”. In our paper, we propose a writing discourse, perhaps not yet formulated, called psychoanalytical researcher or psychoanalytical research discourse. Starting, firstly, from an introductory development about the place of silence in the writing of the four fundamental discourses, the text questions the problem of specificity of the social relation of psychoanalysts, debating with propositions from the psychoanalyst Philippe Julien. The presentation of the researcher discourse is done in discrepancy with the French author, since it predicts another solution for the problem.
