==Paranoia==[[Delusion]]s are usually defined in [[psychiatry]] as firmly held, incorrigible [[false]] beliefs, inconsistent with the information available with the beliefs of the [[subject]]'s [[social]] group. [[Delusion]]s are the central [[clinical]] feature of [[paranoia]], and can range from single [[ideas ]] to [[complex ]] networks of [[belief]]s.
==Name-of-the-Father==In [[Lacan]]ian [[terms]], the [[paranoiac]] [[lack]]s the [[Name-of-the-Father]], and the [[delusion]] is the [[paranoiac]]'s attempt to fill the [[hole]] [[left ]] in his [[symbolic|symbolic universe]] universe by the [[absence]] of this primordial [[signifier]]. Thus the [[delusion]] is not the "[[illness]]" of [[paranoia]] itself, but rather, the [[paranoiac]]'s attempt to heal himself, to pull himself out of the breakdown of the [[symbolic|symbolic universe]] by means of a [[substitute formation]].

One common form, the "delusion of persecution," revolves around the [[Other of the Other]], a hidden subject who pulls the strings of the [[big Other]] (the [[symbolic]] [[order]]), and who controls our thoughts, conspires against us, watches us, etc.
