Abstract
Abstract The etiology of Delusional Disorder is not well understood and could even be characterized as unknown. The intersection of childhood abuse, trauma and socio-economic factors in the causation of Delusional Disorder has not been acknowledged. Examining the impact of social media can lead to a theoretical reconsideration of Delusional Disorder as a paradoxical search for psychological acceptance through the formation of a pseudocommunity.
期刊介绍:
Psychoanalytic Social Work provides social work clinicians and clinical educators with highly informative and stimulating articles relevant to the practice of psychoanalytic social work with the individual client. Although a variety of social work publications now exist, none focus exclusively on the important clinical themes and dilemmas that occur in a psychoanalytic social work practice. Existing clinical publications in social work have tended to dilute or diminish the significance or the scope of psychoanalytic practice in various ways. Some social work journals focus partially on clinical practice and characteristically provide an equal, if not greater, emphasis upon social welfare policy and macropractice concerns.
