The three psychological temporalities and the utilization of psychic energy in the therapeutic relationship

In order to improve the effectiveness of care, this article makes a theoretical contribution to the subject of the therapeutic relationship in the psychological support of caregivers. Through an original explanation of psychological temporality, a revealing analysis of psychic energy allows us to conceptualize a new integrative approach to psychological care. This work is based on an empirical and phenomenological method enriched by a literature review.

The result is an innovative model that successively presents three psychic forces that attention can be drawn to in the context of a therapeutic relationship. Drawing on neologisms and existing therapeutic approaches, this article seeks to lay the foundations for a new theoretical model that will make psychic energy more accessible and useful to caregivers. In conclusion, the aim is to reflect on psychic temporality and the utilization of psychic forces, with a particular focus on future practice, experimentation, and clinical and scientific exploration.
