Time as a subjective experience determined by the state of intrapsychic balance has clinical significance for the psychoanalyst. The ego functions related to reality testing are also involved in the construction of the time sense. The timelessness of the unconscious, an aspect of the primary process, led Freud to elaborate developmental and structural factors. These two books approach the problem of time from largely phenomenological experimental viewpoints.
