DOUVILLE, Olivier. The negative delusion from Cotard to Séglas.Translated byMarylink Kupferberg. Psicol. clin. [online]. 2007, vol.19, n.1, pp. 187-200. ISSN 0103-5665.

We will present the reader, very briefly, who was Séglas, through the different stages that highlight the negative delusion, insisting in Séglas´ clinical approach and the way in which he organizes his text, such as a French garden, in order to clinically discuss delusional melancholy. To conclude, we will provide some references from the psychoanalytic clinic, in the hope that they bring clarification regarding negative delusion's current meaning.

Keywords : body; negative delusion; melancholy; drive; psychosis.
