First-person accounts of delusions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2018
Abstract
Aims and MethodIn order to investigate cognitive aspects of the experience of delusions, including onset and recovery, autobiographical accounts of schizophrenia were reviewed.
ResultsThe sample was self-selected and biased towards women and highly-educated patients. The delusions described were usually gradual in onset and often occurred in the context of an odd or fearful mood, which was accompanied by distorted reasoning.
