One of the topics in a syllabus that I'm translating. I translated the wiki definition into English and I'm asking a psych prof at OHSU about it too, so I'll let you all know how she chimes in. However, if anyone knows, I'd be grateful!

Thanks for the 'agree' - I'm not terribly convinced, but I can see that we're on the same track. Of course, I didn't see your answer; I was working on mine.

: The word "cathartic" is really superfluous since abreaction (from the German "abreagierung") involves working off/discharging old feelings or "unfinished business".

Seems to be a standard phrase from Freud?
