Abstract
This research discusses the subjective effects experienced by the psychoanalyst in the process of psychoanalytical formation; intended, therefore, to investigate possible modes of subjectivity in the discourses about this process. For this, have been interviewed six psychoanalysts: three Lacanian and three linked to International Psychoanalytical Association – IPA; the interviews were transcribed and analyzed according to Institutional Discourse Analysis. It was possible to delineate how respondents linked to IPA subjective themselves through a reaffirmation of the trainer discourse, recognizing up as psychoanalysts by the observance of the IPA’s training model; and the Lacanians through a contraposition to other discourses, recognizing up as psychoanalysts by the differentiation to the terms associated with IPA, philosophy, psychology, etc. Still among the results, the personal analysis appeared, in both groups, as the most important production device of the psychoanalyst: a relationship that produces truths and knowledge of self in which respondents find conditions and limitations to recognize themselves as psychoanalysts.
