This book is an original exploration of the importance in the
analytical relationship of an attentiveness to lived, conscious and
unconscious experiences of time in its three dimensions. It
critically discusses the diverse concepts of time implied in
different writings in the psychoanalytic tradition, namely those of
Freud, Jung, Klein, Lacan, and Winnicott. "Time in Practice"
highlights the limitations of spatial metaphors and the emphasis on
the past as determinative. It discusses the contributions of modern
European philosophical concepts of temporality. Eva Hoffman 's
interweaving of time and language in her autobiographical
descriptions is shown to be crucially relevant to psychoanalytic
practices. Exploring psychoanalytic notions of cure, the book
emphasizes the importance of language and imagination in opening
out future possibilities for the patient. Lively references to case
material illustrate the relevance of its arguments.
