Delusional Individuals–What to Do by: James Serio M.A.

When I was working at a residential treatment program, I once interviewed a middle aged woman: She appeared in good spirits. She told me she was a “special angel.” When I asked her what that was, she replied: “I can’t tell you; I’d have to kill you if I did.”The word delusion means simply a false belief. If you want a more clinical definition, it is provided in the next paragraph.Delusion: A false personal belief that is not subject to reason or contradictory evidence and is not explained by a person’s usual cultural and religious More >
