ganser's symptom, n.All

A Ganser's symptom (n.) hid, ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠in one detained woman, a "not knowing" that was partly unconscious and partly half-intended; the urge to forget anything unpleasant spread to whole zones of memory.

Ganser's symptom (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the "irrelevant talk" of a cornered prisoner in a twilight state, expressing a wish not to know: a painful event is pushed out at once and the person loses his bearings.
