Psychosis, dissociation or delirium? Observations on the importance of differential diagnostics

Johan Cullberg

Psychosis, 2011, vol. 3, issue 2, 160-162

Abstract: Sometimes a psychosis, a dissociative pseudo‐psychosis or a delirium – especially when overlapping – are not diagnosed as aetiologically separate entities in clinical situations. All may be named “psychosis” or even schizophrenia. Such a practice may give serious consequences for the treatment. The observations in this paper will hopefully act as an invitation for other colleagues’ commentaries.
