Abstract

In the social context, individuals and society are in a complex combination for they cannot exist

without each-Other. e way these identities combine in a time and space with new dimensions, is

the core question held in this paper. Surely individuals gains from society space and time and gives

space and time to it, as well.ese quantum interchanges combine the identity states . Even though

in complexity, the tendency to distinguish psychological from philosophical and social dimension

is on the rst core aims of the paper. Post Traumatic Identity based on what Albanian Society has

been through in the past and present contexts stands on behavioral malfunction identities.

Methods: e selected topic is based on meta-analytical views of Traumatic Shape through related

models of co-existence.

As the core objectives of the paper are psychological deviance identities. e central question will

branches Heideggerian dasein identity, the social level of Fromm with an analytical viewpoint of

Other(s) Lacan and Zizek. eoretical conclusions given in this paper are closely related to our

society in its present existent form, previous existences and “to be”identities.

Keywords: Post-Trauma ,Dasein, Time -Space , Identity, Malfunctioned Personality.

Psychological Deviances in the context of therapy

To introduce what could be included in a psychological deviance, we will rst discuss a

general meaning of the term. e Latin word “deviare”is nowadays used to express an

avoidance to norms and rules set by society. If society could be considered as a group of

individuals, or a single individual who “convinces the group that the latter has commune

needs,” these needs will have to be taken in consideration. Generally, specic disciplines

use deviance to express an avoidance, which is particular to these disciplines. Here we will

try to link to a common denominator which henceforth I call “the point of avoidance of

individual from himself ”, thus the moving of Self from Self-hood.

In the eld of psychology, the concept of deviance is used for thoughts and behaviors,

which are dierent and not appropriate to specic situations. Deviances in behavior

are more notable, considering the continued attachment of the individual to his own

environment.

For the classical metaphysics, time is linear; the past denes what the past is called: the

past. For the classical psychoanalytic theory, the past represents “the present” and the

present ”the future”. As a rule, expectancies for the future inuence the present, changing

the perception of the present. I will call this peculiar feature of the present-for-future

“future possibility”, a possibility which will dene the relationship of the human with the

existential conditions of the present and the intensity of the perception.
