Abstract

FRANCA NETO, Oswaldo. Considerations on time and its contingencies within a university clinic. Psicol. clin. [online]. 2009, vol.21, n.1, pp. 33-43. ISSN 0103-5665.

Considering the difficulties regarding clinical time observed in emergency/waiting rooms in educational institutions dealing with the treatment of the lower-income population, this article aims to lay out the problems that may develop into a contemporary apprehension of the notion of time. Looking from an historical approach that is both eminently symbolic and based on succession, we explore some other possibilities based on connection and association, where a topological approach regarding time may be more adequate.

Keywords : time; temporalities; logical time; clinical institution.
