Primal pain

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The word Urschmerz appeared in German usage in 1854 in a text by Karl Rosenkranz . A few years later Arthur Schopenhauer and Friedrich Nietzsche used it as a name for one of their philosophical ideas to explain the concept of appearance . In The Birth of Tragedy (1878), Nietzsche placed primal pain as an image alongside the “primal contradiction” and the “primal pleasure of appearance”. In the 20th century Gerhart Hauptmann mentioned the word in one of his works (1921) and decades later (1970 or 1971) it was used in a book published by S. Fischer Verlag as a German translation for the term coined by the American psychologist Arthur Janov Primal Pain (" primary pain ", " primary pain ") used. Janov used it to describe the early childhood states of overwhelming physical and mental pain that he assumed and described in his books (see primary therapy ).
