Discharge of pent-up emotions (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

catharsis

(Other definitions for catharsis that I've seen before include "The release of pent-up emotions" , "Release of feelings" , "Emotional purge" , "Purification - is rash act (anag)" , "Emotional release" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
