Primal scream意思

"Primal scream" is a term that refers to a loud, emotional scream or cry that is believed to release tension or express deep-seated emotions, often those that are difficult to articulate or express in words. The term is most commonly associated with the psychological concept of primal therapy, which was developed by psychologist Arthur Janov in the 1970s.

In primal therapy, patients are encouraged to express their feelings and emotions through crying, screaming, and other forms of emotional release, in order to access and work through deep-seated psychological pain and trauma that may be repressed or unresolved. The idea behind primal therapy is that by allowing oneself to fully experience and express these emotions, individuals can achieve a greater sense of emotional and psychological well-being.

The term "primal scream" has also been used more broadly to refer to any intense or emotional outburst, and it has been used in various contexts, including in literature, art, and popular culture.
