Book Synopsis Time and Psychological Explanation by : Brent D. Slife

Download or read book Time and Psychological Explanation written by Brent D. Slife and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1993-07-01 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychology has been captured by an assumption that is almost totally unrecognized. This assumption—the linearity of time—unduly restricts theory and therapy, yet this restriction is so common, so customary, that it is often completely ignored. This book traces the influence of this assumption and reveals the many overlooked “anomalies” to its dominance. Slife describes the many findings and explanations that are incompatible with linear time in several psychological specialties. He contends that these unnoticed anomalies point to alternative conceptions of time that offer innovative ideas for psychological explanation and treatment.
