The narrative model extends the opportunities for understanding the processes of subjectification in life span. The contribution addresses the action of narration in daily life and in the clinical setting, the function of telling one's own story and the ways in which the subject, consistently with his/her identity, constructs his/her own life story and how the story models his/her identity. A circular causality that edits a diachronic autobiography that pivots on memories and on encoding and mnestic reactivation systems. A dynamic story, in flow and in becoming, which is subjective and personal, the result of a re-reading or reconstruction of one's own experiences over time. But when the "moviola" stops and history is read and not reread, what is it that jams the gear and produces the time gaps of internal time? What is it that "slows down" life span, determining the psychopathological pictures? The devices of the philosophy of time - considering intrapsychic time one of the possible observers - can be the toolbox to help the clinician to frame the correlation between the perception of internal time flow and consciousness.
