The manuscript aims to reflect on the ruptures in the history of Brazilian Lacanian psychoanalysis institutions. The basis was the Psychoanalytic Congress of the Banana and the 1998 Division of the Brazilian School of Psychoanalysis; precursor events of Brazilian lacanism that still reverberate in the relationship between analysts. Institutional documents and discourses of analysts who participated in these events were analyzed, adopting temporality as a central characteristic of historiography. A historical analysis was carried out in an emic direction from the concept of trauma articulated with its clinical forms of presentation. It was concluded that in the psychoanalytic field a policy of identity prevails with its aspects of subordination and identification to groups aiming at hegemony within the field.
