The clinical picture -- The symptoms of psychosis: structure and epidemiology -- A dimensional view on psychosis -- The concept of psychosis proneness -- Models of paranoia -- Cognition and paranoia -- Mood, anxiety and paranoia -- Emotions and affects in paranoia -- The heuristics of paranoia -- The tipping point: when suspiciousness becomes paranoia -- The heuristics of paranoia -- The tipping point : when suspiciousness becomes paranoia -- How understanding persecutory thinking can help prevention.

Sommario/riassunto

This book reviews the dimensional conceptualization of persecutory delusion in the attempt to elucidate the transition from suspicious thinking to clinically relevant paranoia. A better understanding of psychosis may take advantage from the study of non-clinical population; to this aim this book's chapters review recent research work and theoretical framework used for interpretation. Current epidemiological investigations on psychotic features in the general population are summarized, and the findings are framed using the dimensional and quasi-dimensional models of psychotic symptoms distribution. Finally, the concept of paranoia as a general cognitive process, in the form of heuristic, is proposed to reconcile experimental and epidemiological findings.

Sommario/riassunto

The security relationship between India and Pakistan is generally viewed through a neo-realist approach of International Relations.. Treading on a different path, this book explains the rivalry of these countries by looking at the socio-cultural norms found at two levels, elites versus popular. Furthermore, it also conceptualizes a hypothetical India-Pakistan security community that could result in peace in the region.The book describes how the rivalry between India and Pakistan
