abstract="The experience of time is an intrinsically personal one. It is state of mind peculiar to the individual. The uniqueness and value of a moment of time lies in the subjective framework with which each individual uses time. It is a basic framework one uses for establishing his own private world of thought and action. The way in which he uses time is a reflection of his attitude towards life and his concept of himself as a being in time.   An investigation into a person's concept of time should give us clues on his view of life and of his behavior. This concept should be particularly relevant to understanding of behavior of the suicidal person if we accept the idea that his action is a reflection of his view towards life which is, of course, intrinsically related to his concept of time. Accordingly, the present study was designed to explore the time orientation of the suicidal individual. It is an investigation which attempts to ascertain the relationship between a suicidal person and his subjective concept of time. A variety of techniques for estimating time perception and time orientation were used to see which might differentiate the suicidal individual from the non-suicidal individual.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
