The riddle of time and space (original) (raw)

Time as the most important feature or fundamental describer of normal human experience is also the most important forgotten element of psychoanalysis. Freud believed that the unconscious is timeless and that it perceives any given moment as new and immaculate. He did very little to illustrate the origin of time; however, he pointed to the function of the Pcpt-Cs. as the key to this riddle. After him, fewer psychoanalysts can be found, except for Andre Green, Hartocolles, Arlow, and Sabbadini, who systemically researched this subject. In this paper, I have studied the concept of time through the interdisciplinary perspective of psychoanalysis and physics and have applied formulas of time (in Physics) which gives us a better understanding of the sense of time in various states of the mind. I have claimed that this offers us a good viewpoint through which we can understand the sense of time in a spectrum from melancholia to psychosis/narcissism. Through clinical vignettes, I have tried to show how this formula works.
