Please ignore previous comment. In this case "negative catharsis" means "avoid purging".
paul_b Jul 20, 2007:
'negative' can probably be more easily understood as 'damaging' in this case. "After a period in which these problems pile up on the victim, a damaging catharsis such as self-mutilation, suicide, or homicide may result."
