| neurosis |
a functional nervous disorder without demonstrable physical lesion. (Instructor's note: a neurosis is a demonstration of the "compartmentalization" ability of the human mind; for the conscious part of the brain to be unaware of what should be conscious activity. It was in studying such anomalies that Freud discovered the "role" or significance of the subconscious).
