ABSTRACT
One of the main difficulties is that experience is both unique to the individual human subject and determined by their unconscious drives. For some, the notion of chronological time is essential because, being based on the irreversibility of physical and psychological processes involved in growth, it permits the notion of development and enables psychic development to be tied to physiological development. The psychoanalytic treatment implicitly involves the creation of an iterating learning system based on the sequential presence and absence of the analyst and analysand from one another. Psychoanalysis might be thought of as a means of emerging from the potentially solipsistic quality of human experience, and to do so seems to demand going beyond the "here and now". A temporally triangulated being emerges, free of the exigent pressures of the "here and now" because of a newly won power of reflection based on the achievement of temporal triangulation, bringing with it an experience of being experienced.
