Summary
The delusional misidentification syndromes include Capgras syndrome, Frégoli syndrome, syndrome of intermetamorphosis, syndrome of subjective doubles, delusion of inanimate doubles and reduplicative paramnesia (Capgras, 1923; Anderson & Williams, 1994; Ellis, Luauté & Retterstøl, 1994; Christodoulou et al., 2009). These conditions are of great and continuing interest to psychiatrists, neuropsychologists, neuroscientists and philosophers alike because of their intriguing clinical presentations and the fact of the possibility of linking discrete beliefs to neural and neuropsychological underpinnings.
