DECOLONIALITY IN PSYCHODRAMATIC RESEARCH AND PRACTICE: OVERCOMING HISTORICAL EPISTEMICIDES

ABSTRACT

This article reflects on the scientific anchoring of psychodramatic research and practice, questioning the colonial/modern perspective prevailing in the universe of Western science, and suggesting an approach to the decolonial thinking developed in the 21st century, in which historically disregarded epistemologies are resumed, such as the one in which the philosophical principles of Moreno’s work are located. The questions discussed about research in Psychodrama can be transported to the field of practices, generating questions related to the place of the psychodramatist in the relationship with the other, the way of elaborating the therapeutic problems/hypotheses and what is expected of the interventions, placing them beyond traditional modern binarisms.
