Abstract

Delusions of psychological change of the self are becoming increasingly appreciated as a type of misidentification delusions. Most available knowledge on delusions of psychological change of the self derives from single case studies. In this article, we present a study encompassing 30 cases of this delusion. Diagnostic and phenomenologic aspects of this delusion are discussed as well as its relation to other types of misidentification delusions.
