This unique text develops an original theoretical framework for understanding the relationship between trauma and time by combining phenomenological and psychoanalytical traditions.

Moving beyond Western psychoanalytical and phenomenological traditions, this volume presents new perspectives on the assessment and treatment of trauma patients. Powerfully illustrating how the temporal dimension of a patient’s symptoms has until now been overlooked, the text presents a wealth of research literature to deepen our understanding of how trauma disrupts individual temporal experience. Ultimately, the resulting phenomena that occur (including dissociation and cognitive distortions) position time as a transdiagnostic psychological dimension, closely connected to the subject’s sense of self.

This text will benefit researchers, academics, and educators with an interest in psychoanalysis, phenomenology, and trauma and dissociation studies more broadly. Those specifically interested in the philosophy of the mind, Freud, and psychotherapy will also benefit from this book.

Reviews for Trauma and Its Impacts on Temporal Experience: New Perspectives from Phenomenology and Psychoanalysis

"""While Mezzalira’s book is only 156 pages, it is an extensive compilation and summary of theory and research, past and present, on time and trauma. She includes perspectives from philosophy (especially phenomenology), psychoanalysis, neuroscience, and cognitive science. This book explores many, many useful concepts and research findings and is a valuable reference source for clinicians and researchers."" -Michael Stadter, Psychodynamic Practice"
