Resumo

Este ensaio examina a peça Cyprus Avenue, de David Ireland, de 2016, explorando o papel da terapia para desvendar tanto a mente do paciente, um homem chamado Eric, quanto o seu contexto sociocultural. Investiga como a histeria social dá origem à histeria pessoal e social e o papel da história nesse processo. Também analisa as questões sociais, políticas e culturais enfrentadas pela Irlanda do Norte, tanto no passado quanto na atualidade, e como a terapia tem sido utilizada como um dispositivo eficaz, não só em relatos psicológicos, mas também em comentários sociais e políticos. O ensaio investiga como a peça auxilia o leitor e o público a mergulhar na mente de um homem com distúrbios mentais e a exercer a empatia para com a sua doença mental, que está profundamente enraizada em seu contexto histórico e social.
