Resumen
DIEZ PATRICIO, Antonio. Belief and delusion. Rev. Asoc. Esp. Neuropsiq. [online]. 2011, vol.31, n.1, pp.71-91. ISSN 2340-2733.
Traditionally, delusion has been considered a wrong belief. This is due to the fact that the construct of delusion has been based on an error of judgment that influences the inference that an individual with delusion makes about specific facts regarding empirical reality. The present study describes a conceptualization of beliefs from the perspective of theory of knowledge and explores the similarities and differences between these and delusion. The conclusion is that delirium constitutes not a wrong belief but a wrong knowledge.
