Abstract

The author reflects on the concept of temporality in Psychoanalysis, highlighting its contributions to psychoanalytic thought, namely through the concept of psychic change. Time for Physics and subjective time, a construct of Psychoanalysis, revolutionized the traditional conception of time for humanity. The analysis of the meanings of the category of time in Psychoanalysis involves delimitations at different levels, in which past, present and future are interconnected and coexist in the same present psychic space. It goes through the most significant evolutionary conceptions of temporality in Freud’s work, based on the works of authors who focused on the theme, with emphasis on the work of André Green. It refers to the most relevant distinct psychoanalytic approaches, encompassing theory and technique, coming from French Psychoanalysis — which emphasized a non-linear form of après-coup temporality — and English Psychoanalysis — with an emphasis on a more linear developmental model of temporality. Issues related to time are the basis of psychoanalytic theory, analytic setting and psychic phenomena. Illustrates, through clinical vignettes, some issues related to temporality in the psychoanalytic process.
