Abstract

Do delusional people really believe what they say? This question is as interesting as it is pressing for clinics. From the very beginning however this work is engaged in defending two core ideas. First, understanding belief, regardless of whether it is a “real pattern” or not (Dennett, 1991), is relevant to understanding what delusions are. Second, delusions can be beliefs like others.
