Summary
This study explores "time-lived" in relation to psychological conditions. Different psychoses, including schizophrenia, melancholia, and epilepsy, are linked to specific disturbances in experiencing past, present, or future time.
Area of Science:
- Psychology
- Psychiatry
- Phenomenology
Context:
- The study differentiates between "experienced-time" and "time-lived," focusing on how individuals engage with the past, present, and future.
- It examines the subjective temporal experiences associated with specific psychological conditions.
Purpose:
- To investigate the relationship between distinct modes of time realization (past, present, future) and specific psychiatric disorders.
- To understand how disturbances in temporal experience contribute to the phenomenology of schizophrenia, melancholia, and epilepsy.
Summary:
- The research posits that individuals with schizophrenia experience anxiety due to disturbed future anticipation, melancholic individuals fear losing connection to the past, and those with epilepsy struggle with the overwhelming nature of the present moment.
- These distinct temporal disturbances are presented as being intrinsically linked to the fundamental way the self experiences and engages with time.
Impact:
- This work offers a novel perspective on the phenomenological underpinnings of various psychoses.
- It suggests that understanding an individual's "time-lived" experience is crucial for comprehending the nature of their psychological distress and the self's relationship with time.
