Yet the very nature and extent of delusions are poorly understood. What are delusions? How do they differ from everyday errors or mistaken beliefs? Are they scientific categories?In this superb, panoramic investigation of delusion Jennifer Radden explores these questions and more, unravelling a fascinating story that ranges from Descartes's demon to famous first-hand accounts of delusion, such as Daniel Schreber's Memoirs of My Thinking in action.DelusionsCognition disordersElectronic books.Delusions.Cognition disorders.616.89Radden Jennifer.259206MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910460037303321On delusion2011332UNINA
