| Abstract
|
:
|
The experience of time during analysis has very peculiar characteristics. This article describes how in the analytical experience the analyst and his patient may create an intermediate time that relates internal time with the time of the world. The experience of temporality as created by the successful encounter between the time of the world, the subject's history, and the time of the other, together with the inner rhythm of desire, is the result of a permanent effort of working through in which the analyst can neglect neither the personal needs of each of his patients nor those imposed by the outside world. At the end of a successful creation of a temporal experience, the experience of desire is important. The object of desire is not the object of possession. In fantasy, possession is atemporal. On the contrary, the experience of desire is deeply temporal. The existence of desires forms an illusion of the possibility of possession, but a total possession would destroy desire. We love whom we desire, and desire whom we love, and we love more when love keeps its autonomy and leaves us a space to love more.
