Hysteria, anorexia and the culture of self-denial
Psychiatry.
1988 Feb.
Abstract
Anorexia and hysteria seem to be expressions of age-specific conflicts intensified by constrictive cultural ideas and certain kinds of familial constellations. The disorder that ensues appears to represent the individual's desperate attempt to escape the conflicts of adult life according to models offered by the prevailing cultural values.
