Persecutory delusions, the unfounded beliefs that others intend
harm to the individual, are a major psychiatric problem. They are a
common feature of severe mental illnesses such as schizophrenia,
delusional disorder and bipolar disorder, often lead to admission
to psychiatric hospital, and are a cause of considerable distress
to patients and carers. However, increasingly it is recognised that
persecutory delusions reflect the severe end of a spectrum of
paranoia, which also encompasses beliefs and worries about threats
from others that are common in the general population. In the last
ten years an increasing number of researchers and clinicians have
focussed on explaining paranoid experience in both clinical and
non-clinical populations, with fascinating results. This recent
research is presented for the first time as a book. In this
landmark publication, the three major authorities in the field
bring together the current knowledge about the assessment,
understanding, and treatment of persecutory delusions. Leading
experts in cognitive psychology, neuropsychology, psychiatry,
social psychiatry, neuroimaging, and neuroscience explain their
perspectives on paranoia. Pharmacological, cognitive, and family
interventions are comprehensively reviewed, and personal accounts
of paranoia are included.
