Reverse intermetamorphosis--a rare misidentification phenomenon.
The authors present a case including two variants of delusional misidentification: Fregoli variant and intermetamorphosis. The present case has two interesting aspects: a) intermetamorphosis occurred in the patient himself, rather than in another person; b) the intermetamorphosis was only psychological and not physical.
