Time Space and Phantasy examines the connections between time space phantasy and sexuality in clinical practice. It explores the subtleties of the encounter between patient and analyst addressing how aspects of the patientâs unconscious past are actualised in the present producing new meanings that can be re-translated to the past. Perelbergâs analysis of Freudâs Multi-dimensional model of temporality suggests that he always viewed the constitution of the individual as non-linear. In Freudâs formulations the individual is decentred and ruled by different temporalities most of which escape their consciousness. Perelberg identifies the similarities between this and Einsteinâs theory of relativity which states that rather than being absolute time depends on the relative position and speed of the observing individual suggesting that rather than being a reality time is an abstraction connecting objects and events. Throughout this text Perelberg draws together connections between time mental space and phantasy showing how time is constantly reshaped in the light of new events and experiences. This book will be of interest to psychoanalysts psychotherapists psychologists and social workers. . Language: English
