Time Factor in the System of Psychological Interpretations

Abstract

The article examines the question of systematic character of time criteria (temporariness, temporality) in the practices of psychological interpretations. The approach for interpretation of self-identity dynamics is proposed. Self-identity is interpreted as a process of «symphonisation» of times (trans-temporality). Self-identity is analyzed as a problem of ensuring of stability of individual existence in the dynamics of self-development. The article presents in brief the results of studies conducted by the author in 1993–2009 which have been published in a number of publications including 3 monographs and 25 articles.
