In this insightful book, the author vividly takes the reader inside
the minds of people who are paranoid: experiencing delusions of
persecution ranging from thinking others are "out to get" them to
falsely believing they have physical illness. Kantor also explains
to us other facets of the Paranoid Personality, including
suspiciousness, hypersensitivity, extreme vigilance, simmering
anger, and a tendency to blame others for and absolve oneself of
almost everything. How does such paranoia affect one's life?
Whether one is a paranoiac wanting to recover from the emotional
disorder, or a person looking for the best way to deal with a
paranoid husband, wife, friend, boss, or acquaintance, this book
offers understanding and guidance. As Kantor explains, the term
"paranoid" should not be used as a hurtful epithet. "Paranoid
individuals are no more or less evil than persons with any other
emotional disorder, or for that matter, persons with a physical
disorder. Paranoia is a disorder of the mind, not a flaw of
character," says Kantor. Paranoid individuals are not invariably
social misfits. They are found in all walks of life and in all
professions, suffering from this disorder that distorts behavior
and affects those with whom they come in contact, often in
devastating ways. Politicians who write attack ads, spouses who
beat or kill their partners, people in road or supermarket rage
incidents are all among the possibly paranoid, as are students who
perpetrate violence at their schools and fired employees who wreak
violence at their former workplaces. Recognizing and treating
paranoid behaviors can prevent or reduce antisocial activity and
violence against individuals and society.
