Paranoia is as common as depression, but most of us know little about it. Drawing on scientific research, this accessible book answers the key questions about paranoia - from how we can deal with it, to whether we're living in a uniquely paranoid age - and highlights the central role of paranoia in our world.

Abstract

Delusional disorder, once termed paranoia, was an important diagnosis in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and only in 1987 was it reintroduced into modern psychiatric diagnosis after being subsumed with schizophrenia. This book provides a comprehensive review of delusional disorder for psychiatrists and other clinicians. Beginning with the emergence of the concept of delusional disorder, the book goes on to detail its manifold presentations, differential diagnosis and treatment. Many instructive case histories are provided, illustrating manifestations of the various subtypes of delusional disorder, and related conditions in the paranoid spectrum. This is the most wide-ranging and authoritative text on the subject to have appeared for many years, and the first to suggest, based on the author's extensive experience, that the category of delusional disorder should contain not one but several conditions. It also emphasizes that, contrary to traditional belief, delusional disorder is a treatable illness.

Abstract

This collection of essays focuses on the interface between delusions and self-deception. As pathologies of belief, delusions and self-deception raise many of the same challenges for those seeking to understand them. Are delusions and self-deception entirely distinct phenomena, or might some forms of self-deception also qualify as delusional? To what extent might models of self-deception and delusion share common factors? In what ways do affect and motivation enter into normal belief-formation, and how might they be implicated in self-deception and delusion? The essays in this volume tackle

Abstract

Cet ouvrage mène l'enquête sur toutes les formes d'irrationnel qui se manifestent en période de guerre, des signes surnaturels aux pathologies mentales. Miracles et prodiges émaillent les conflits humains depuis la nuit des temps et les chroniques ne manquent jamais de les rapporter. Aujourd'hui, dans notre appréciation de la guerre, ces questions tendent à être occultées ou considérées comme anecdotiques.--
