EC Psychology and Psychiatry

"What we feel, and what we experience, is the physical materiality of an internal movement that we call emotion”.

The phenomenon "emotion" has always been recognized on the basis of the terminological definition given by the Greeks during the Hellenistic period of maximum expansion of philosophical thought. For that culture, emotion was defined as "blood movement". Literary metaphors then followed this interpretative model speaking of "heart sinking", "shortness of breath" and more.
