  • Title: Capgras syndrome--an unusual case and discussion of psychodynamic factors.
    Author: O'Reilly R, Malhotra L.
    Journal: Br J Psychiatry; 1987 Aug; 151():263-5. PubMed ID: 3690120.
    Abstract:
    A case of Capgras syndrome associated with extreme violent behaviour is described. The patient's psychodynamics support the belief that the Capgras delusion initially arises from an altered affective response towards one or more others and proceeds to intolerable ambivalent feelings. This ambivalence is neutralised through the imagined existence of doubles.
