AB - This paper aims paradoxically the necessity of anxiety through the reilluminations of the philosophical(Kierkegaard) and psychodramatical(Moreno) meanings of anxiety.
Kierkegaard asserts that only the spiritual being i.e., a human can experience anxiety. He sees anxiety as a psychological state that human as a free being experiences when he leaps qualitatively from one state to another state. The person who seeks stability without the true human spirit, that is, the person who is bound by unfreedom cannot experience anxiety. Only, through the infinite free spirit, a finite human can experience anxiety. That is, for Kierkegaard, anxiety is a person's psychological state facing the possibility of freedom.
In psychotherapy area, anxiety is not always treated as something that needs to be removed. As a synthesis of psychotherapy, psychodrama relates anxiety to trying to return to a cosmic being. Human as a cosmic being is eager forr free transformation to the whole universe, and anxiety occurs in cosmic hunger to maintain cosmic identity. It is related with trying to reach a role reversal with the whole universe, attempting to have creative encounters with other beings. Anxiety is the state of hunger for this encounter.
As indicated above, for Kierkegaard and psychodrama, anxiety is understood in the prospect freedom and encounter, and by fully suggesting the different view of value and necessity of anxiety, it provides the new power of starting a life from anxiety.
