    Author: Vasil'ev VD.
    Journal: Zh Nevropatol Psikhiatr Im S S Korsakova; 1990; 90(7):71-3. PubMed ID: 2175097.
    Abstract:
    The author related the results of analyzing 273 patients suffering from attack-like progressive schizophrenia with the Kandinsky-Clérambault syndrome, who committed socially dangerous actions and were subjected to compulsory treatment. Out of the 273 patients, only 57 (20.5%) had a combination of the manifestations of the Kandinsky-Clérambault syndrome and delusion of poisoning. The establishment of delusion of poisoning was in a close relationship and in parallel to the formation of the Kandinsky-Clérambault syndrome. The formation of delusion of poisoning went on the basis of the 4 psychopathological phenomena: senestopathy, gustatory and olfactory hallucinations, acoustic pseudohallucinations. Delusion of poisoning acquires the greatest criminogenic importance when it is formed on the basis of senestopathies and acoustic pseudohallucinations; it is of the least importance when formed on the basis of gustatory and olfactory hallucinations.
