Background: Temporality is an essential and organizing element in the experience of being. It is a fundamental element in the coherence of self. In spite of its importance, it is a subject not well investigated, particularly in schizophrenia, where studies havesuggested that alterations of time experience may be a nuclear phenomenon in the psychopathology.Aim: This paper intends to understand how changes in temporality may be related to the psychopathology in schizophrenia.
Methods: A selective review of the existing literature has been performed based on Pubmed database starting in 2000, and with a special focus on the classical psychopathology literature.
Results and Conclusions: The constructs of time, lived time and temporality are distinguished. Hypotheses are formulated with evidence provided regarding how changes in the experience of time may affect individuals with schizophrenia. It is also explained the process of constitutive synthesis of protention-impression-retention, an essential process to the experience of implied time. Finally, it is demonstrated how failure in this process may affect the temporal experience of the person with schizophrenia.
