eudysphoria
Definition
- Eudysphoria is a neologism coined by A. Gaines to represent and characterize dysphoric (the Greek meaning “hard to bear”) affect that is ego-syntonic and positively experienced in particular cultural contexts. The term critiques U.S. ethnopsychiatry's uniformly negative conception of dysphoric affect and highlights the existence of distinct, positive cultural evaluations thereof.
