Abstract

This chapter intends to interact and integrate different perspectives that address temporality as a dimension that shapes the human being's life. On the other hand, temporality as a variable or universal dimension structures both the normal and abnormal life of people, having approached the subject from the perspective of psychiatrists of the Franco-German tradition to explain and phenomenologically understand the experience of time in psychosis. At present, understanding and interdisciplinary work should be taken into account and integrated for their application in the psychosocial rehabilitation of people with this pathology, recognizing also that the subject has not obtained concrete or satisfactory answers even today.
