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.

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

Miracles, prodiges et manifestations surnaturelles ou délirantes émaillent les conflits humains depuis la nuit des temps, et les chroniques ne manquent jamais de les rapporter. Dans les sociétés anciennes, les phénomènes que l’on qualifierait aujourd’hui d’irrationnels font partie du quotidien de la guerre. Avant une bataille, on scrute avidement les signes célestes, on consulte oracles et astrologues, on prie pour son salut. Tel Napoléon, les grands capitaines qui vont au combat se sentent protégés par leur « bonne étoile ». Chercher à se concilier les forces mystérieuses qui gouvernent nos destinées relève autant de la foi que d’une certaine forme de raison. Mais les conflits génèrent aussi des comportements totalement aberrants et imprévisibles, comme des peurs paniques, des visions, des cauchemars, des psychoses ou encore l’ivresse inétanchable du sang. Aujourd’hui, dans notre appréciation de la guerre, ces questions tendent à être occultées ou considérées comme anecdotiques. À tort. On éprouve cependant le plus grand mal à analyser de manière rationnelle ce qui par définition échappe à la raison ou la transcende. Pour mener à bien cette enquête, les auteurs du présent ouvrage se sont intéressés à toutes les formes d’irrationnel qui se manifestent en période de guerre, des signes surnaturels aux pathologies mentales.
