Abstract

Ever since the publication of Esquiro’s study on the “monomanias” (Esquirol 1838), monosymptomatic delusional disorders have confronted the psychiatric profession with special diagnostic and therapeutic problems. Paranoia, the “pure” delusional condition, indeed possesses special psychopathological significance, but has not always been able to retain its separate status in relation to the two large categories of the affective and schizophrenic illnesses. After a long history of controversy over the independence of paranoia as a diagnosis, the concept of the delusional disorders has been incorporated into the current diagnostic systems as a rather broad, etiologically nonspecific nosological category, which has, however, been empirically confirmed as valid by numerous family studies and studies of disease course. This review builds on the discussion of paranoid processes by Retterst0l (1987) in the third (German) edition of this text and further presents the findings of more recent research on delusional disorders.
