This article deals with the history of psychoanalysis in Porto Alegre since the advent of freudian ideas through their precursors and pioneers of both medicine and literature. Geographical approach with Argentina is highlighted as a major influence on the local psychoanalytic scene from the beginning, especially in the early generations of psychoanalysts formed by the Psychoanalytical Society of Porto Alegre (SPPA), but also in the second half of the seventies with the arrival of argentine lacanians who had get away from the military dictatorship in their country. Beyond the field of IPA we also treat psychoanalysis movement that took place by psychologists trained in Psychology graduation courses in the capital. Those courses had strong psychoanalytic tradition in the work at psychological office. These psychologists joined the lacanians and others excluded from formal training to strengthen the contingent of those who came to defend and practice the profane analysis. In this scenario the hegemony of SPPA had declined yielding a second affiliation with IPA: Brazilian Psychoanalytical Society of Porto Alegre (SBPPA). The clinical tradition with psychoanalytical foundation is strong in the Porto Alegre's culture and is extended to the field of mental health, social care and public health. In the 1990s, public contests for psychologists at the municipal, state and federal level are expanded and these professionals start working with public policy in mental health, social care and education being challenged to place psychoanalysis in dialogue with new conceptual and working tools, aim at incorporating social security policy. In the same way that these professionals were challenged to put psychoanalysis to question subject suffering in these various fields, they began to question psychoanalytical institutions to think clinical and social intervention in those multiple contexts.
