Abstract

In that work, the tetanic's depresses are taken out from the sphere of spasmophilie , concept that the authors take as no pertinent. Those depresses find again the sphere of the nevrosis . It is an answer to the anguish and to the oedipus-problematic of the subject. The authors, by making clear their remarks with several observations, circle the clinic constants escorting the birth of depresses, the bodily expression of the anguish, the psycho-motive peculiarity of the tetanic and the phenomenon of repetition. The authors conclude with a thought over the sense of the symptoms, and over a psycho-somatic medicine that essentially refers to the relation between the doctor and the patient.
