Professor Scheff, Professor of Sociology and Anthropology, makes a thoughtful study to define catharsis as clearly as possible as a process that is signalled by the creation of certain types of behaviour such as laughing and crying. His main argument is that it s the distancing, the balance between being a participant and on observer, which can bring on catharsis.
