"O que é um analista?": o analista, entre a psicanálise e a instituição

Abstract

The upward growth of the number of analysts in public institutions todayimposes a question: how can there be an analyst where psychoanalysis, the principle is not in question? To answer this question, it becomes imperative that we return to two works that define the psychoanalytic field to perform a textual criticism of the position of its authors in the debate on the status of the analyst. We will follow the writings of Freud and Lacan to deduce from them an approach political, clinical and epistemological of the discussion about the formation of the analyst. Freud, as it undertakes the expansion movement of psychoanalysis in the world, is faced with the deterioration of his practice as a result, which opens the question of what is an analyst. To control the qualification of the analyst in the field which he had founded, establish the International Psychoanalytical Association IPA. However, if this measure was justified to support the expansion of the psychoanalytic movement, which eventually assume a position of extraterritoriality in society. To elucidate this political context and restore the principles of the practice of psychoanalysis, Lacan proposes a return to Freud, which reveals a return to Freuds desire that was at stake at the origin of the psychoanalytic movement. To accomplish this task, Lacan engages in a critique of the direction given by IPA to the Freudian legacy. He proposes opening theory and practice of psychoanalysis to the public debate, which does return the impasse of the deterioration of its principles and the inevitable question about what is an analyst. The opposition from Lacan to IPA culminates in his excommunication, which leads him to found his School. Lacan proposes the School as an institution that reopens the question "what is an analyst?" in the field that concerns you, so with that, put it back on the path of the task that he competes in society. However, the School contends, in its interior, the movement of its members to return to thecontrol orthodox of the authority of analysts. This leads Lacan to dissolve the School, suggesting that their students complete her counter-experience.
