Behaviour therapy as an adjunct to treatment of systematized delusion-a case report.
Systematized delusion can sometimes be very difficult to treat. In the present case of identity confusion in a single girl, operant conditioning technique was employed when physical and other forms of psychological treatment had failed. The patient's system of delusion was dissolved and she remained symptom free 12 months after discharge.
