Abstract

This article describes the experience of time in the thought of Merleau-Ponty as a possible
contribution to the phenomenological clinic. Merleau-Ponty compares the experience of time with a
network of intentionalities. In this sense, he departs from the notion of a structural sequence that
surpasses itself. Time is the product of a dialectical tension between past and future, who is only
overcomed by itself in as much as, jointly, preserves itself. It an also be understood as an ambiguity
between the retentional and the successive. Thus, we propose to bring the idea of time as an
ambiguous process to the psychological clinic, in a contribution to the humanisticphenomenological
approach. This is so because, characterized by experiential ground, it makes use
both of existentialist and phenomenological tradition.
