Becoming a child in psi practices

Abstract

This paper reflects on a conceptualization used by Alicia Fernández in psychopedagogy, but which could well be contemplated in the broad set of psychological practices (psychology, psychopedagogy, psychomotor skills, etc.): it is the concept of becoming a child, which It refers to a proposal by Friedrich Nietzsche, later taken up by Deleuze and Guattari to be incorporated into the multiple, heterogeneous and rhizomatic set of conceptual tools of schizoanalysis. Consequently, some implications of an interesting formulation by the aforementioned author are explored: psychopedagogy has to become a child. Through the scriptural record of the essay, this proposal is expanded to all psi practices, through the deployment of five theses: 1) childhood is not childhood; 2) childhood is becoming; 3) there is a becoming a child; 4) becoming a child is joyful; and 5) there is a becoming a child, even when being an adult. It is concluded that psi practices could see their power revitalized by promoting in themselves a becoming a child that
allows them to recover the possibility of playing, creating, inventing and sustaining joyful learning based on their own practices.
