The term '[[delusion]]' ([[French]]: ''[[délire]]'') is used in [[psychiatry]] to describe a firmly held [[false]] [[belief]], inconsistent with the information available and with the beliefs of the subject's social group.
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.
Delusion :
Psychosis linked to a psychopathologic organisation of the personality manifested by troubles of perception and by the production of delirious ideas.
[[Délire]], illusion :
Conviction erronée basée sur des conclusions fausses tirées des données de la réalité extérieure, maintenue bien que tous les autres individus pensent différemment (hallucinations).
