An important centenary in this country's intellectual history is about to be commemorated: in 2014, the scholarly discourse on psychoanalysis in Brazil will turn 100 years old. It was in 1914 when Genserico Aragão de Souza Pinto from the state of Ceará received his doctorate by the Faculty of Medicine in Rio de Janeiro for his dissertation Da psiconalise (A sexualidade nas nevroses) and thus inaugurated the field for the reception of psychoanalysis in the decades to come. After a long period when this document was not available, the German Hannes Stubbe, professor for anthropological psychology at the University of Cologne, Germany, and at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, traced it in the faculty's archives and published it as a 129-pages reprint. Hannes Stubbe is an outstanding expert on Brazil and has for many years held various professorships in Rio and São Paulo as well as in Mozambique and in China. He released his discovery in Germany and equipped it with a thorough commentary explaining both the Brazilian and the European context to the reader.
Thereby it becomes obvious how much Pinto is indebted to his supervisors, in particular to Antônio Austregésilo Rodrigues Lima who five years later published his own paper Sexualidade e psiconeurosis, but also to the famous Juliano Moreira, denoting him as a psicoanalista in his acknowledgements. Moreira had established a tie to German-speaking psychiatry at the beginning of the century when travelling through Germany for several years. There he had also met Emil Kraepelin whose classification system for mental diseases he publicized upon his return to Brazil. It seems remarkable that even back in 1899, i.e. before his journey, Juliano Moreira had lectured on psychoanalysis at the Faculty of Medicine in Bahia. Pinto too proves well informed and quite familiar with numerous, yet not all of Freud's works existing
