Opis

Delusions play a fundamental role in the history of psychology, philosophy and culture, dividing not only the mad from the sane but reason from unreason. In this panoramic investigation of delusion, Jennifer Radden places the concept in both a clinical and cultural context and explores a fascinating range of themes.
