Delgado points out that disturbances in the awareness of time may be confused with other symptoms that are due primarily to disturbances of memory, reason, the instincts, etc. He substantiates this thesis with examples related to the phenomena of déjà vu, 'desubstantiation of present time', 'frustration of present time', 'lack of validity of a happening', and 'materialization of time and double chronology'. He also discusses how the psychic phenomena related to any occurrence remain framed in the dramatic plot of human temporality by man's sense of time. It is in this context that the psychoanalyst's judgment of the transcendent importance of the first manifestations of love is justified.
