More DescriptionThis book provides a comprehensive review of delusional disorder, a condition that was only reintroduced into modern psychiatric diagnosis in 1987, after being subsumed with schizophrenia for more than half a century. Illustrated throughout with case histories, the book begins with the emergence of the concept of delusional disorder, and goes on to detail its manifold presentations, differential diagnosis, and treatment. An invaluable reference for psychiatrists and other clinicians, this wide-ranging and authoritative text emphasises that, contrary to traditional belief, delusional disorder is in most cases a treatable illness.
