People with psychiatric and neurological illness sometimes say and
think the most amazing things. They might believe they are dead;
claim to see, despite being blind; or "remember" things that never
happened. Historical demarcations between academic disciplines
dictate that these are distinct clinical phenomena - 'delusion',
'anosognosia' (the delusional denial of illness on some accounts)
or 'confabulation'. This Special Issue brings together leading
researchers from diverse fields - memory researchers, clinical
neuropsychologists, psychiatrists, cognitive scientists and
philosophers - to consider the extent to which these different
phenomena overlap. Opinions differ. Some researchers use the term
confabulation very generally to refer to false claims whether these
concern belief or memory. Other researchers advocate an exclusive
approach, according to which no symptom could ever qualify as both
delusional and confabulatory. Yet others focus on points of
similarity and argue that historical discord between psychodynamic
and cognitive neuroscientific approaches has obscured similarities
with regard the roles of emotion and motivation. Some contributors
highlight both difference and similarity; they consider points of
overlap - the instances of confabulation which qualify as
delusional - or advocate a common monitoring framework to explain
all distortions of reality. Despite their differing views, our
contributors all share the common aims of clarifying theoretical
conceptions, evaluating similarities and differences, and learning
more about underlying causal mechanisms so as to advance the
cognitive neuropsychiatry of both delusion and confabulation.
