Abstract
Based on the experience of the authors as psychologists recently graduated from different Brazilian universities, there is a disproportion in the opportunities offered to undergraduates to engage in research and in relation to the communication of what is produced in the graduate courses. Therefore, using the experience reporting methodology, the objective of this work was to think on how the interlocution between teaching and research contributes to the integration between undergraduate and graduate studies. With that, the purpose is to discuss the insertion of psychoanalysis as a method of research and production of knowledge in the university, problematizing the relationship between the scientific field and the psychoanalysts who are engaged in research activity. Since graduate programs and research funding agencies prioritize candidates who have experience in scientific research in order to select better-prepared researchers, it is critical to understand how the transmission of research in psychoanalysis to undergraduates occurs. This work defends that the transmission of academic research can raise the interest and qualification necessary for undergraduate students to join the graduate courses, as well as the development of psychoanalysis as a method of academic research.
