In classical psychoanalytic theory hysterical symptoms refer to dysfunction when a body part or a sense organ takes on an unconscious symbolic meaning. For example, a patient's eyes or legs might be equated unconsciously with his or her sexual organs; in the case of massive inhibition of adult sexuality, an eye or a leg may appear not to function. There is no physiological damage; the affected organ is only hysterically paralyzed.
~ Joyce McDougall

Our bodies and movements are in constant interaction with the environment; the world and the self inform and redefine each other constantly. The percept of the body and the image of the world turn into one single continuous existential experience; there is no body separate from its domicile in space, and there is no space unrelated to the unconscious image of the perceiving self.
