In a study of time from the psychological viewpoint the development, personal variation, psychodynamics, and psychopathology of the sense of time are considered. On the basis of the evidence presented the suggestion is made that a normal sense of time aids in successful adjustment while a disturbed sense of time may induce symptoms of psychopathy, psychosis, or neurosis. It is hoped that others will test this hypothesis.
