Abstract:
Jean Lhermitte (1877-1959), the French neurologist and psychiatrist, is most often associated with the sign he described in three patients with multiple sclerosis, back in 1927. In 1937, Lhermitte analytically studied a series of 28 amputees experiencing phantom limb sensations further to amputations dating between 1891 and 1934. After having described the main clinical characteristics of this unpublished series, we will detail the ideas advanced by Jean Lhermitte regarding the phenomenon of the phantom limb. Lhermitte will use these observations to develop conceptions of consciousness and the body schema encompassing very modern resonances.
