Paranoid and Delusional Disorders

Paul H. Blaney

Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

Abstract In DSM–IV–TR, the names of three conditions contain the words paranoid or delusional: schizophrenia—paranoid type (PS), delusional disorder (DD), and paranoid personality disorder (PPD). PS and DD are marked by delusions. In DD and PPD distortions of reality coexist with realms of rational, realistic thinking. It is in some ways misleading that both PS and PPD incorporate the wor paranoid, because in PPD the word seems to mean suspicious, whereas in PS it means delusional—with no limit on kind of delusion (Kirkpatrick & Amador, 1995).
