hysteria
Definition:
Historically, hysteria referred to a psychological condition marked by intense emotional expression and somatic symptoms without an apparent physical cause. In Jungian terms, hysteria is often linked to repressed unconscious material seeking expression through the body.
Example:
Addressing hysteria involves exploring its symbolic meaning and unconscious roots. For instance, a client’s unexplained physical symptoms might reflect unresolved emotional trauma or unmet psychological needs.
