[Perspectives and time as relevant phenomena in the psychopathology of obsessive-compulsive neuroses]

Perspectivity and time are central terms of the process of cognition in the phänomenological philosophy and anthropology. In this context, "perspective"' means the terms of freedom, act, orientation and sense. The "world of obessional neurotic" however is characterized by the lack of intersubjective relations, by loss of orientation and senselessness. The time, which the obessional neurotic experienced not as continual protention, but by compulsive rituals and compulsions of control, did deprive him of each liberal relation to future. From this context implications for a psychotherapeutic relation can be derived.
