Asymmetry and symmetry of time are examined as related to three issues. First is the flow of time. Second is its reversibility and third- the temporal distance between the present and the past, the present and the future. The theory of presentism which rejects the flow of time in past and future is questioned. Of particular importance in respect to the asymmetry and symmetry of time is the notion of reversibility. Very likely, one should think a relative time can be reversed and possess a temporal symmetry. Psychotherapeutic case shows that different types ofviolations ofreversibility ofpsychological time are the cause of different types of psychological disorders.
