Abstract

This paper approaches the relation between psychoanalysis and university. It begins with a historical approach in Rio de Janeiro since the 60’s and examines the possibilities of psychoanalysis in undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The former only presents knowledge ‘about’ psychoanalysis. The latter may involve clinical work or a psychoanalyst’s working through a master or doctoral thesis. The text presents the ‘four discourse’ theory formulated by Lacan and discusses the transmission of psychoanalysis through teaching. It puts forward that this transmission is of a ‘wish for knowledge’ based on its lack which is the core of psychoanalytical approach to knowledge.
