The concern with time permeates Freud's work, from Studies on
Hysteria to Analysis Terminable and Interminable, which point out
to a network of concepts that indicate Freud's complex theories on
temporality. Indeed no other psychoanalytic thinker has put forward
such revolutionary vision on the dimensions of time in human
existence. This volume brings together some of the most important
papers written on the topic by members of the British
Psychoanalytical Society. In the richness of the detailed clinical
discussions the ways in which patients deal with time and memory
are viewed as crucial indications about their internal world and
ways of relating to their objects. Disorientation regarding time
tends to reflect levels of disruption to internal object
relationships, inability to mourn or to experience guilt. Examples
from literature and history are considered in order to examine the
power of the repetition compulsion - Nachtreglichkeit - as well as
how the impossibility of bearing the mental pain can lead to the
creation of a timeless world.
