The authority is not a concept of psychoanalysis. But it appears in the first dictionary of psychoanalysis of Sterba; Freud associates the authority with parental love. Two philosophers Kojève and Kristeva have developed this concept in their work. The question of authority is important in a psychoanalysis association. There is the administrative authority of the executive committee, there is also the authority of the ethics committee, etc., If authority comes into question in psychoanalysis, we can only talk about the authority of the psychoanalyst. Because it is the only real and true etiquette which unites the members of an association of psychoanalysts.
