This paper presents and analyzes reflections by Freud and Ferenczi as they were creating the first chair of psychoanalysis at the University of Budapest. Based on these elements, we emphasize that the conflictive relationship between psychoanalysis and the University was not only marked by theoretical or professional differences, but that this process was decisively influenced by the institutional policy that laid the foundations for the constitution of the psychoanalytic movement.
