Also, Criphystemologies, use insights drawn by Freud’s discussion on hysteria,
through his account on the mechanisms of repression. On studying the Freud’s
most-famous case history of “Dora”, Anna stated that Freud’s discounting of his
hysterical patient’s bodily stress and disability theory repudiation of suffering
supported the oppression of people with undocumented disabilities by blocking
recognition, known as “Somatic Noncompliance”. After the criphystemological
interpretation of Dora, emphasizes on constructing an elaborate theory of
disability, whose paradigmatic representative is not a man but a hysterical girl.
Freud also claimed that the pathology of the girl has been indicated through
reactive reinforcement (means of repressing an unconscious thought, by
continuously brings a different thought). Freud, also implied that reactive
reinforcement is a sign of hysteria (Mallow, 2014)
Freud postulated a process called Somatic compliance, that characteristic of
hysteria which differentiates it from other psychoneuroses. Each response to
undocumented disabilities invalidates disabled people Criphystemologies. They
have some of the important implications towards the disability theory. Disabled
people suffering from these impairments are discounted as “hysterical”, more
medicalization is desired. But a criphystemological disability theory does not
outright the medical model, but seeks to claim the medicalization for the
disability (Mallow, 2014).
