Time and timelessness are fundamental principles of psychoanalysis yet Freud does not present a consolidated theory of temporality. In this book Kelly Noel-Smith pieces together Freud's scattered 'hints' and 'suspicions' about time and its negative, timelessness. She traces a careful temporal trail through Freuds published works and his daunting
Nachlass, and provides a compelling reason as to why Freud kept his remarkable thoughts about time to himself.

Noel-Smiths book is an original and scholarly inquiry into Freuds constructions of time and timelessness. & Thankfully, Noel-Smiths contribution offers us a modern reading of a return to Freud and a beautiful explication of his theories of time.
