Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Psychoanalysis
  • Philosophy of Time

Background:

  • Understanding temporal experiences is crucial in psychological and psychoanalytic contexts.
  • The concept of 'après-coup' highlights retroactive meaning-making.
  • Existing frameworks often struggle to capture the complex, non-linear nature of subjective time.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore diverse temporalities, including developmental time, après-coup, and a newly proposed 'reverberation time'.
  • To analyze the paradoxical nature of the 'here and now' experience.
  • To elucidate the inherent connection between progressive and retrospective temporal processes.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis of temporal theories.
  • Examination of micro-level sessional material from clinical practice.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Exploration of psychoanalytic concepts and their temporal dimensions.

    • Main Results:

    • Identified distinct temporalities: developmental time, après-coup, and reverberation time.
    • Demonstrated that the 'here and now' is not a simple present but a complex temporal construct.
    • Revealed the interdependent relationship between forward-moving and backward-looking temporal processes.

    Conclusions:

    • Subjective time is characterized by multiple, interacting temporalities.
    • The 'here and now' is dynamically shaped by past and future orientations.
    • Progressive and retrospective time are mutually constitutive, essential for psychological development and clinical understanding.
