The Imaginary Lovers Delusion: A Diagnostic Case Study

Pages 394-400 | Received 12 Feb 1966, Published online: 16 Nov 2010
 

Abstract

A patient who believed that two imposters were posing as her and her ex-fiance was diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic with the aid of the Rorschach, DAP and Hand Test. Projective tests not only accurately reflected various elements of the girl's psychopathology but also revealed certain voyeuristic tendencies which appeared to be related to the projection of a double. The delusion was tentatively classified as a variation of Capgras' syndrome.
