Resumen

SOCHA, Alexandre. Devil's intervals. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2018, vol.52, n.1, pp. 67-80. ISSN 0486-641X.

The purpose of this paper is to examine some aspects of "the chord of evil", by connecting it to its ways of expression in literature and music. As the author approaches melancholic states, his article invades the psychoanalytic field. In this path, he explores disjunctive and conjunctive functions as diabolic, evil elements that are essential to feelings of vitality and to the analytic work with certain patients. The author presents two brief clinical cases about this theme.

Palabras clave : devil; the chord of evil; melancholia; tritone.
