[[Delusions]] (''{{Top}}délire'') are usually defined in [[psychiatry]] as firmly held, incorrigible false [[belief]]s, inconsistent with the information available and with the beliefs of the subject's social group.<ref>see American Psychiatric Association, 1987: 395; Hughes, 1981: 206</ref> Delusions are the central clinical feature of [[paranoia]], and can range from single ideas to complex networks of beliefs (called delusional systems).{{Bottom}}

==ReferencesName-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]] 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]].  As [[Freud]] commented in his [[work]] on [[Schreber]]:<blockquote>"What we take to be the pathological production, the delusional [[formation]], is in [[reality]] the attempt at recovery, the reconstruction."<ref>{{F}} "[[Works of Sigmund Freud|Psycho-Analytic Notes on an Autobiographical Account of a Case of Paranoia (Dementia Paranoides)]]," 1911c: [[SE]] XII, 71</ref></blockquote> ==Jacques Lacan==[[Lacan]] insists on the [[significance]] of the [[delusion]] and stresses the importance of attending closely to the [[psychosis|psychotic]] [[patient]]'s own account of his [[delusion]].

==Other of the Other==
The [[paranoid]] [[delusion]]al [[construction]] may take many forms. 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.
