N1 - 33 N2 - Madeleine Lebouc, Janet’s famous ecstatic patient, was supposed to exemplify a case of “psychasthenic madness”, between hysteria and obsessive disorders. She left more than 2 000 pages of both spiritual and clinical self-description. Starting from the recent historiography of the case by Jacques Maître who identified the true woman behind Madeleine, this paper takes a fresh look at the way Madeleine’s mystical writings and “mental condition” might be even more closely connected than previously thought UR - https://shs.cairn.info/journal-savoirs-et-cliniques-2007-1-page-211?lang=en&redirect-ssocas=7080 ER -
