title: An Analytic View of Delusion creator: Franceschi, Paul subject: Applied Cognitive Psychology subject: Cognitive Psychology subject: Logic subject: Clinical Psychology description: The present article proposes a logical account of delusions, which are regarded as conclusions resulting from fallacious arguments. This leads to distinguish between primary, secondary, ..., n-ary types of delusional arguments. Examples of delusional arguments leading to delusion of reference, delusion of influence, thought-broadcasting delusion and delusion of grandeur are described and then analysed. This suggests finally a way susceptible of improving the efficiency of cognitive therapy for delusions. date: 2003-10 type: Preprint type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf identifier: http://cogprints.org/3208/1/An_Analytic_View_of_Delusion.pdf identifier: Franceschi, Paul (2003) An Analytic View of Delusion.
