"Don Quixote is the first great modern paranoid adventurer. . . . Grandiosity and persecution define the characters of Swift’s Gulliver, Stendhal’s Julien Sorel, Melville’s Ahab, Dostoyevsky’s Underground Man, Ibsen’s Masterbuilder Solness, Strindberg’s Captain (in A Father), Kafka’s K., and Joyce’s autobiographical hero Stephen Dedalus. . . . The all-encompassing conspiracy, very much in its original Rousseauvian cast, has become almost the normal way of representing society and its institutions since World War Two, giving impetus to heroic plots and counter-plots in a hundred

Delusional disorder, once termed paranoia, was an important diagnosis in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

This book provides a comprehensive review of delusional disorder for psychiatrists and other clinicians. Beginning with the emergence of the concept of delusional disorder, the book goes on to detail its manifold presentations, differential diagnosis, and treatment. The author provides many instructive case histories, illustrating manifestations of the various

Landrum’s 13th book is a self-help work on the inhibiting inner fears that either motivate or debilitate. As a pundit once said, "Hesitate and you are lost." Why do most people hesitate? Fear! The fear of not being good enough or the fear that comes from thinking too much. We are afraid of those things we don’t understand but the true visionaries jump right into those fears and they magically disappear. Fear was the fuel of the passions of Elvis. In the case of director Steven Speilberg, he had a deep-seated fear of the dark. The only time he wasn’t afraid when in a theater w

Paranoia is not an obscure mental state afflicting some individuals but a widespread condition of modern societies, say the authors of this engrossing book. Robins and Post describe the paranoid personality, explain why paranoia is part of human evolutionary history, and examine the conditions that must exist before the message of the paranoid takes root in a vulnerable population, leading to mass movements and genocidal violence.

Thomas Pfau reinterprets the evolution of British and German Romanticism as a progress through three successive dominant moods, each manifested in the "voice" of an historical moment. Drawing on a multifaceted philosophical tradition ranging from Kant to Hegel to Heidegger -- incorporating as well the psychosocial analyses of Freud, Benjamin, and Adorno -- Pfau develops a new understanding of the Romantic writer’s voice as the formal encryption of a complex cultural condition.Pfau focuses on three specific paradigms of emotive experience: paranoia, trauma, and melancholy.
