The essay approaches the manner through which "authorships" are established in psychoanalytical discourse - considering, basically, the figures of authorship that organize the establishment of a psychoanalytical discourse (as Klein, Winnicott and Lacan, e.g.). Starting off by a presentation of the status of authorship within psychoanalytical discourse, the essay questions the centrality of the repetition of formulae with a canonical pretension and the overall role of dogmatism in the process of a psychoanalytical "authorization". Finally, the essay suggests further developments and configurations to approach dogmatism and authority within psychoanalytical discourse in a renewed way.
