The authors review the concept of hysterical psychosis and its reported psychodynamics. They suggest a psychodynamic issue that apparently has not been previously reported, namely, emotions engendered by an overt sexual advance or rage and disappointment over a lack of a sexual advance. This finding can be most helpful in distinguishing a case of hysterical psychosis from an acute schizophrenic episode.
作者回顾了癔症性精神病的概念及其报道的心理动力学。他们提出了一个显然此前未被报道过的心理动力学问题，即公开的性挑逗所引发的情绪，以及因缺乏性挑逗而产生的愤怒和失望。这一发现对于区分癔症性精神病病例和急性精神分裂症发作最为有用。
