The frequency of shared delusions in delusions of infestation
European Archives of Psychiatry and Neurological Sciences, 1990The phenomenon of shared delusions was found in 9 (8.4%) of 107 personally investigated patients suffering from delusions of infestation (88 females, 19 males). A greater number of females (ratio of females to males 3.5:1) "induced" others, whereas a gender ratio of 1:1 was evident in the group of affected patients.

Current Opinion in Psychology, 2021
We review scholarship that examines relationships - and distinctions - between religion and delusion. We begin by outlining and endorsing the position that both involve belief. Next, we present the prevailing psychiatric view that religious beliefs are not delusional if they are culturally accepted.

International Review of Psychiatry, 2004
Delusions are critical components in a number of mental disorders, schizophrenia foremost. What are they? The standard view is that they are a type of belief--a pathological belief. Unfortunately, the standard view does not consistently correspond to clinical practice, where the term 'delusion' often applies to non-beliefs.

Journal of Mental Science, 1896Dr. H. Dagonet (“Annales Médico-Psychologiques,” No. 1, 1895) draws attention to those cases which exhibit simultaneously delusions of a contradictory nature and to the alternation of different kinds of delusions, e.g., delusions of persecution with those of grandeur, etc.—cases which are usually classified as folie circulaire, melancholia with ...

On the measurement of delusions
British Journal of Medical Psychology, 1990Garety (1985) analysed problems with existing definitions of delusions, focusing on the fixity and intensity of delusional beliefs. A quantitative method was proposed to evaluate with greater sensitivity the intensity of delusional conviction and its fixity over time. In this comment, three related points are raised about Garety's analysis and measure.

Via an engagement with the legacy of Freud and the most discussed results of twentieth-century psychiatry, my aim will be to analyse its paradoxical forms and to shed light on the logics that ...

This paper looks at the reparative quality of delusional systems. The Author explores and expands Freud's notion of delusion as an 'attempt at reparation'. Even if a delusion is mostly the consequence of hatred of reality and an omnipotent idealized construction to protect the ego from persecutory anxiety stemming from a destructive superego, its ...
