  • Title: The bi-logic perception of time.
    Author: Fink K.
    Journal: Int J Psychoanal; 1993 Apr; 74 ( Pt 2)():303-12. PubMed ID: 8491534.
    Abstract:
    The problem of perception and conceptualisation of time in the unconscious and the conscious is seen in terms of Matte-Blanco's theories. In a short outline of his ideas, symmetrical and asymmetrical logic and his newer concept of 'bi-logic structures' are discussed. Clinical examples from the psychoanalysis of a patient with a time problem are presented to illustrate the hypothesis that a misperception and misconception of time lead in this case to obsessive-compulsive pathology. The clinical application of Matte-Blanco's postulations not only explains the psychopathology of the patient but also allows the formulation of a treatment strategy leading to a positive solution of the problem.
