Orientation in time: implications for psychopathology and psychotherapy.
Considerations derived from the fields of physics, philosophy, anthropology, and psychology suggest that our popular conception of time as a unidirectional and uniform flow may not be an adequate description of the human experience of time. Indeed, other dimensions of temporality may constitute important aspects of human phenomenology with respect to both adaptive and maladaptive or psychopathological mental states. Exploration of the temporal aspect of experience and temporal reorientation may be helpful psychotherapeutic maneuvers that are greatly facilitated by hypnosis.
