How to stop sethinx automethod prefix method name with class name

Question

When I use Sethinx automethod to document a specific method, for example:

.. automethod:: my_module.MyClass.my_method

As a result, the documents add the class name to the method name as follows:

MyClass.my_method(kwarg1=None, kwarg2=None)

    This is the docstring for my_method...

Is there a way to tell automethod not the prefix of the method name with the class name, so the resulting documents look like this:

my_method(kwarg1=None, kwarg2=None)

    This is the docstring for my_method...

?
