Abstract
CONTRO, Luiz. Conversations between a psychodramatist and Nietzsche. Rev. bras. psicodrama [online]. 2018, vol.26, n.2, pp.84-95. ISSN 2318-0498. https://doi.org/10.15329/2318-0498.20180029.
The author rescues, in his professional trajectory, the origins of his current interest in some ideas of the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. Then, through the description of significant moments that took place in a psychotherapeutic process, he explores articulations with the psychodramatic method, in particular between the concepts of will to power and spontaneity. The genealogical procedure, the propositions of eternal return and perspectivism are other contributions of the philosopher of which the author has used in his practice, permeated by a tragic worldview. He alerts, however, to the necessary care when making interlocutions between different fields of knowledge, under the risk of mischaracterizing concepts. Finally, he evaluates that the connections have been fruitful.
Keywords : Nietzsche; will to power; psychodrama; spontaneity; psychotherapy.
