TY - JOUR PY - 1993// TI - Delusional misidentification and dangerousness: a neurobiologic hypothesis JO - Journal of forensic sciences A1 - Silva, J. A. A1 - Leong, G. B. A1 - Weinstock, R. A1 - Wine, D. B. SP - 904 EP - 913 VL - 38 IS - 4 N2 - Delusional misidentification syndromes have intrigued this century's psychiatric researchers. More recently, the dangerousness posed by individuals suffering from these syndromes has been a subject of scientific inquiry. A series of five individuals suffering from delusional misidentification syndromes was studied from a phenomenologic and neuropsychologic perspective. Using this information, a hypothesis involving the psychobiological contributions to the dangerousness of delusional misidentification can be generated. This may further our understanding of the dangerousness posed by psychotic individuals.
