title: [Camille Claudel. Her psychiatric case history].
abstract: Camille Claudel was confined to a mental hospital in 1913, when she was 50. In fact she had been ill long before and it is that morbid personality which the author describes. Her life had always been a tragedy and her love for Rodin had nothing to do whatsoever with her illness; such a feeling was just a symptom of her diseases. She remained 30 years in hospital and she was considered as a paranoiac systematized chronic delirious patient. The author explains why such a case could not be judged differently in France in 1913. Whereas today it would be referred to as schizophrenic paranoid psychosis, with polymorphic delirious ideas and main persecution theme.
