Abstract
This article investigate the concept of force, as it appears in Nietzsche, and psychoanalysis. The objective is to clarify and enhance its clinical use. The research is justified because it is about conceiving the clinical process as an explanation of the instinctual force, since the typology of forces proposed by Nietzsche and the analytical precision, of an ethical and clinical character, completely converge. A Nietzschean ethics of active force (amor fati) becomes providential for thinking about the resumption of the concept of force in psychoanalysis. Objections raised to the notion of force will be opportune to, conversely, justify its use: equivalent to the notion of real, that of force does not benefit from the displacement that the former undergoes and operates. That the real can be treated by negativity, but not by force, problematizes the use of the two notions: force will never be defined by the impossible or the void, but by acts of resistance or sublimations. It is concluded that at the level of this evaluative, selective power, not conditioned by the present, the Nietzschean themes of the untimely and the transvaluation of values are outlined. The time to come of active forces depends on their exercise. These essential themes to Nietzschean philosophy imply, therefore, the consideration of force and its vicissitudes. The same goes for psychoanalysis and the irrevocable notion of drive. It is true that, conversely, force is clarified by the transvaluation of values that the untimely triggers. The drive is also only known through its exercise, that is, while it itself operates its pragmatic deciphering. She requires, for that, the ethical and clinical perspective that the wife and her immanent, extra-moral evaluations. It is the reason for her to occupy herself with the dream and with its active, questioning memory, since a time to come.
