Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A 31-year-old male psychiatric patient presented with an unusual multifaceted delusion of misidentification including Capgras syndrome, in which people in the immediate environment, the other patients and hospital staff, were seen as hired actors in a stage production. The genesis and reinforcement of his delusional thinking appears to be the results of psychological, organic, and ecological factors. |
