Abstract
ORDONEZ FERNANDEZ, María del Prado. Benign paranoia: Remembering the Classics. Rev Clin Med Fam [online]. 2011, vol.4, n.2, pp.132-139. ISSN 2386-8201.
Amongst patients diagnosed with delirium disorder attending Mental Health clinics there is a subgroup of patients with delirium disorders, mainly of the allusive-referential type, who respond to treatment, without having to be hospitalised. They are capable of introspection and self-criticism. They have confidence in their doctor which encourages a therapeutic alliance and treatment adherence. These delirium disorders have a favourable evolution. The objective of this article is to review the history of benign paranoia with the aim of gaining a better understanding of the psychiatric disease of this curable subgroup.
