pseudogeek: The face of a peach-faced lovebird.  (Default)
In one branch of psychology we think that people are sad or malfunctioning (ok, not the right words for both of the things, but the jargon is dysphoria and dysfunction, meaning that by the person's own standard, one is feeling down or cannot function as well as one should) because they are not "whole" as a person.

It's not Freud's. In psychanalysis, people are sad or malfunctioning (still not correct, the jargon word here would be hysteria, which means "this people isn't feeling well, but it's not a physiological issue, but a purely psychological one") is inner-conflict.

(Yeah, hope I didn't mislead lunatique on the phone earlier.)
