商品簡介
Meissner (emeritus, Psychoanalytic Institute of New England, East) ponders the nature of the self and the nature of time in which the self exists. As a tentative definition, he considers the self as the totality and unity in which body and mind are integrated into one complex entity. In the context of psychoanalysis, he says, time becomes more than the measurement of a clock or calendar, is overburdened with psychic meaning, and involves levels of complex motivation on both the conscious and unconscious levels.
