Focus of the Book

This book focusses on the theory and application of ‘time perspective theory’. Time perspective can be an important factor in determining psychological well-being and the way we see our world and others around us.

Evolution and Interest

The unique contemporary nature of this theory’s evolution has spurred great interest over the last 20 years. The editors responded to this interest by bringing together contributors across a multitude of subjects and perspectives to facilitate an unprecedented discussion on the topic; covering areas such as financial health, psychotherapy across adulthood and old age, prenatal past, metacognition, community and change, fear of crime and intrinsic motivations.

Interdisciplinary Relevance

The interdisciplinary nature of this project makes it of interest to a wide cross-section of academics and practitioners including psychologists, social workers, criminologists and anyone who has or wishes to adopt time perspective theorization to assist them in their understanding.
