Collinge, M. R. "The relationship between childhood abuse and delusions : an investigation based on delusional content." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 2006. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1445390/.

Abstract (sommario):

Psychotic illness is associated in the literature with abuse in childhood (Read, van Os, Morrison, & Ross, 2005). This literature is reviewed, focussing on the relationship between childhood abuse and delusions. The review looks to the abuse literature to suggest ways that psychological sequelae of abuse might fit with existing theories of delusions to offer a more comprehensive understanding of their origins. It is argued that current psychological models of delusions do not deal adequately with the impact of childhood abuse. A greater appreciation of this relationship is theoretically import

Abstract (sommario):

A research method for investigating delusional beliefs is outlined by adopting the delusional belief that one is dead (the Cotard delusion) as a model delusion. Detailed analyses of published case reports of the Cotard delusion demonstrate that the term 'syndrome' as it is currently applied to the belief that one is dead is not helpful in terms of our understanding of the delusion. Four new case studies of the Cotard delusion suggest that preoccupation with belief may play a role in the formation and maintenance of delusions. Preoccupation with delusional belief was investigated using a varian

Abstract (sommario):

We know little about the formation and maintenance of delusional beliefs. Two main approaches have dominated the scant literature. These seek to account for delusions as primarily disturbances of perception (Maher, 1988) or as differences in reasoning (Garety, 1991). The concern here is with reasoning biases. Garety and Hemsley (1994) have proposed a model in which delusions’ are caused by a "failure to utilise previously acquired information". This leads to people with delusions exhibiting characteristic information processing biases in reasoning (i.e. hastiness and overconfidence). The aim o

Abstract (sommario):

Delusions can be reliably identified in clinical populations. However their definition has been a matter of controversy. Attributes that are commonly used to characterise delusions, such as falsity and excessive conviction, do not generally distinguish them from more ordinary beliefs. The convention that considers delusions as forms of belief obscures many of the important points of distinction from more ordinary beliefs. Conceptual review of the concept of bizarre delusions suggests that delusions are distinguishable from other forms of belief by virtue of their individual bizarreness. That

Abstract (sommario):

Attributional models of persecutory delusions suggest that paranoia arises when people make excessively external attributions for negative events and excessively internal attributions for positive events (i.e. people blame negative events on other people or circumstances and attribute positive events to themselves). The results from a review of the literature on attributional style in people with persecutory delusions indicated that that the evidence for an externalising bias, and more specifically an externalising-personal bias, for negative events is inconsistent and the evidence for an inte

Abstract (sommario):

There is a considerable body of research demonstrating that childhood sexual abuse (CSA) is associated with widespread short- and long-term psychopathology, and moreover, is connected with the most severe, chronic and life-threatening consequences of a wide range of psychiatric disorders. More specifically, there is a growing body of evidence reporting that CSA is related to psychotic symptoms and diagnoses of schizophrenia, and some authors have found thematic links between the nature of abuse and the content of psychotic symptoms.

Visual well-formed hallucinations, fluctuations in the level of cognition, and alertness and extrapyramidal signs are core features of dementia with Lewy bodies. Some patients realize that what they are seeing or hearing are just hallucinations and learn to accept them. Others, however experience these hallucinations as quite real and cannot be dissuaded from the firm belief that they are. In fact, efforts to dissuade them often serve only to confirm the often associated paranoid delusions and this may lead to a catastrophic ending. Hence, it is best not to contradict the patient.

Abstract (sommario):

Empirical studies into aspects of belief content that are associated with distress in persecutory delusions have been inconsistent. Typically these studies have focused on the anticipation of threat consistent with the conceptualisation of persecutory delusions as a form of threat belief. Research in the voices literature has focused on the relationship the voice-hearer establishes with their voice. In doing so, it has been demonstrated that specific aspects of interpersonal belief content are associated with distress. The study had two main aims: (1) to explore how people with persecutory del

Persecutory delusions are one of the most prevalent psychotic symptoms and research into their causes and consequences is vital. People with 'bad me' paranoia believe they deserve to be persecuted.

In this thesis I argue that our philosophical account of the nature and norms of belief should both inform and be informed by our scientific understanding of monothematic delusions. In Chapter 1, I examine and criticise standard attempts to answer the question “What is delusion?” In particular, I claim that such attempts are misguided because they misunderstand the kind of term that “delusion” is. In Chapter 2, I look at the nature of explanation in psychology and apply it to delusions. In particular I look at the constraints on a successful explanation of a person’s psychological state in ter

The aim of this study is to partially replicate and extend previous research by exploring possible associations between specific emotions and content. Six research hypotheses were examined.

Abstract (sommario):

There is no accepted definition of belief and it is likely that the everyday use of the term does not represent a single neuropsychological entity. Nevertheless, cognitive neuropsychiatry is likely to be useful in understanding belief-related phenomena, as it does not necessarily require the focus of study to be a unitary construct. The label 'delusion' is likely to be an umbrella term for a variety of pathologies that lead a person to make an unlikely belief-claim or to have an unlikely belief attributed to them on the basis of their behaviour, in tandem with the person experiencing significa

This thesis attempts to recover the voice of those termed ‘delusional’ and gives reasons why they should have a place in the ‘conversation of humanity’. It does this by challenging what I identify as a view of language use that I call the ‘monological (as opposed to dialogical) folk-scientific observer’ picture. I argue that it is the poverty of this picture that leads to the idea that delusions are empty speech acts, incomprehensible, or irrational and incorrigible false beliefs.

Over the past two decades much research has examined the psychological mechanisms involved in persecutory delusions, leading to the development of competing psychological models (Freeman et aI., 2002; Bentall et aI., 2001). Mills, Gilbert, Bellew and McEwan et aI., (2007) suggest an additional perspective on paranoia can be gained by exploring the way human capacities for dealing with threats have evolved. They note paranoid individuals have a heightened sensitivity to threats from others, and when threat is detected this provokes a defence of anger and aggression. Furthermore, and of relevanc

Following Frith's (1992) model, disruptions to theory of mind have been included in the main cognitive models of persecutory delusions.
