Treatment for adult with 'proven hysteria'? (8,7)
I believe the answer is:
aversion therapy
'treatment for adult with 'proven hysteria'?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'treatment for adult with 'proven hysteria'?' is the wordplay.
'treatment for' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'adult' becomes 'a' (abbreviation).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a'+'proven'+'hysteria'='aprovenhysteria'
'aprovenhysteria' is an anagram of 'AVERSION THERAPY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aversion therapy that I've seen before include "Medical treatment" , "addict's treatment" , "Behaviour modification technique" , "Type of treatment" .)
