| 7:23 p.m. | vocab for the clinical hypochondriac | 2002-06-23 |
| Reaped | came across this definition today doing homework. will add to the vocabulary as needed... histrionic (hysterical) personality: Persons with this personality disorder conspicuously seek attention, are conscious of appearance, and are dramatic. Their expression of emotions often seems exaggerated, childish, and superficial and, like other dramatic behaviors, often evokes sympathetic or erotic attention from others. Thus relationships are often easily established but tend to be superficial and transient. These persons may combine sexual provocativeness or sexualization of nonsexual relationships with unexpected sexual inhibitions and dissatisfactions. Behind their sexually seductive behaviors and their tendency to exaggerate somatic problems (ie, hypochondriasis) often lie more basic wishes for dependency and protection. For example, "Pamela is very histrionic today, she doesn't really think that humping the coke machine will really get her money back, does she?" |
