¨“The term [hysteria], sadly, became so widely used that our contemporaries in their dubious wisdom… not only dropped it, but also lost sight of the phenomena it represented: high levels of suggestibility, imaginal capacity, sensitivity to contextual cues and expectations, and the element of contagion… Little of all of this seems to be appreciated by a large number of practicing clinicians.”
– Dr. Fred H. Frankel, professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, Chief of Psychiatry at Beth Israel Hospital in Boston
But it's not just hysteria. It's also about doing hysterical acts over and over and over and over again, with only a new name of the game to show for, to no avail at all and without any rhyme or reason. So, it is hysteria... but it is also madness.
