Catharsis,
was a therapeutical technique from Sigmund Freud in which a person is asked to
speak everything he feels and thinks without filter to the therapist. It is
effective in the sense that a person will be able to tell everything he wants
to, this give him a feeling of “relief” since this thoughts and feelings
bothers him so much. The technique will not be useful unless the person is
discounted by the therapist when sharing. And since the person is only asked to
tell everything, he would not know how to manage his problem.
