Primary Capacities of Time and Trust

This article follows up on the previous one as part of a four-part publication series, clarifying the list, definitions, and diagnostic criteria for primary actual capacities postulated by Nossrat Peseschkian, in line with recent developments in psychodynamic theory and practice. This third article addresses the capacities of time and trust, offering a deeper understanding of the related psychodynamics of motivations, cognitions, behaviors, and relationships. The specification of diagnostic criteria equips therapists for more accurate and objective clinical assessments, personalized interventions, the development of self-help tools, and further research.
