Delusional thinking can be profoundly distressing for the individual experiencing them and present significant challenges for the mental health professional, not least because there is not always consensus around what might be considered delusional. For the first time, this book gathers the literature and treatment guidance materials related to delusions in one place to offer clinicians an up-to-date, culturally informed, and illustrated guide to managing the full range of delusions and other extreme beliefs encountered in daily practice.
