The present paper aims to reflect on a unique question which is related to the teaching of psychoanalysis and the formation of a psychoanalyst. As a starting point, it assumes that psychoanalysis is a theory as well as a clinical practice. So, the author observes that it implies into two consequences. The first one is related to the fact that, to become a psychoanalyst, one needs to have clinical experience. The second consequence affirms that psychoanalytical teaching requires a project that might be able to surpass classic ways of communication, information and teaching. Considering these two consequences, the author stresses the importance of the concept of “transmission” as related to the communication of knowledge and to the ways in which psychoanalytic discourse proceeds.Keywords: psychoanalysis; transmission; analytic formation; teaching
