Thought insertion is the delusion that one's thoughts are not one's
own, which causes people to believe that external agents have
inserted ideas or thoughts into their minds. More prevalent in
schizophrenia, thought insertion has been regarded as one of the
most complex psychiatric symptoms. It is easy to see why it is such
an intriguing phenomenon, as it blurs our understanding of some of
the most fundamental aspects of our mind. Typically, discussions
around thought insertion have tended to be featured in the context
of philosophical examinations of broader issues in philosophy and
psychiatry, or treated as a footnote to discussions of more
prominent topics such as motor agency or the structure of
phenomenal consciousness. For this reason, discussion of the
phenomenon is incomprehensive and scattered throughout the
literature, making it difficult to keep track of. Intruders in the
Mind is an interdisciplinary attempt to bring together high-quality
contributions to some of the most fundamental debates arising from
the comprehensive study of thought insertion. Making thought
insertion its central topic, this compilation gathers a series of
essays that, taken as a whole, offer a broad and thoughtful
approach to the clinical, phenomenological, conceptual, and
experimental aspects of the systematic study of the phenomenon.
