Wills, trusts, estates An insane delusion is the law legal term of art in the common law tradition used to describe a false conception of reality that a testator of a will law will adheres to against all reason and evidence to the contrary. A will made by a testator suffering from an insane delusion that affects the provisions made in the will may fail in whole or in part. Only the portion of the will caused by the insane delusion fails, including potentially the entire will. Will contest s often involve claims that the testator was suffering from an insane delusion. An insane delusion is distinct from testamentary capacity . A testator might be suffering from an insane delusion but otherwise possess the requisite capacity to make a will. Similarly, an insane delusion is distinct from a mere mistake. If suffering from an insane delusion, a testator is not subject to change his or her mind regarding the delusion if presented with contrary evidence, whereas a mistake is capable of being corrected if the testator is told the truth. Additionally, while an insane delusion may cause portions of a will to fail, most courts will not reform or invalidate a will because of a mistake unless it was the result of fraud . ref Jesse Dukeminier & Stanley M. Johanson, Wills, Trusts & Estates , Sixth Edition, Aspen Publishers, 2000, ISBN 0 7355 0636 1 ref Origin The insane delusion concept was created in the 1826 British case Dew v. Clark . In that case, a father believed that his daughter was the devil incarnate and disinherited her in his will of 1818.

The glass delusion was an external manifestation of a psychiatric disorder recorded in Europe in the late Middle Ages 15th to 17th centuries . People feared that they were made of glass and therefore likely to shatter into pieces . One famous early sufferer was King Charles VI of France who refused to allow people to touch him, and wore reinforced clothing to protect himself from accidental shattering . The delusion The sufferer could believe or claim that he was any sort of glass object. A 1561 account reported a sufferer who had to relieve himself standing up, fearing that if he sat down his buttocks would shatter... The man concerned was a glass maker from the Parisian suburb of Saint Germain, who constantly applied a small cushion to his buttocks, even when standing. He was cured of this obsession by a severe thrashing from the doctor, who told him that his pain emanated from buttocks of flesh.

The syndrome may be related to a brain lesion, and is often of a paranoia paranoid nature with the delusional person believing themselves persecution persecuted by the person they believe is in disguise. A person with the Fregoli delusion can also inaccurately replicate places, objects, and events. This disorder can be explained by associative nodes.

Cognitive neuropsychiatry is a sub discipline of psychology and psychiatry that aims to understand mental illness and psychopathology in terms of models of normal psychological function. It is also a way of uncovering normal psychological processes by studying the effects of their change or impairment. It is derived from the fields of psychiatry , cognitive neuroscience , and cognitive neuropsychology . It is a relatively new discipline and only started in earnest in the 1990s but has been influential, not least because of its early successes in explaining some previously mysterious psychiatric disorders, most notably the Capgras delusion , Fregoli delusion and other delusional misidentification syndrome s.

Mirrored self misidentification is the delusion al belief that one s reflection in a mirror is some other person often believed to be someone who is following one around . Often people who suffer from this delusion are not delusional about anything else. It is considered a monothematic delusion it is sometimes labeled a delusional misidentification syndrome . The disorder is often found within the context of dementia and can also be caused by the organic dysfunction resulting from traumatic brain injury , stroke , or neurological illness . Causes Like other monothematic delusions , mirrored self misidentification is currently thought to be initially caused by a neurological defect, typically in the right hemisphere, which affects one s experience. Current research points to two potential dysfunctions that may lead to this disorder Patients who have impaired face perception i.e. prosopagnosia and thus can no longer recognize themselves similar to Capgras delusion Patients who have lost the ability to interact appropriately with mirrors. In fiction In an episode of CSI NY , entitled Heart of Glass a man was found dead in his apartment with his sister, who claims she was attacked by a woman who had somehow entered their apartment twice before. It was eventually revealed that the woman had Capgras syndrome and that the intruder was actually her own reflected image in various surfaces. It was during the last struggle with the intruder that she accidentally killed her brother. This was later confirmed during interrogation when she tried attacking her own reflection in the interrogation room s two way mirror. In the 2008 film The Eye 2008 film The Eye , Jessica Alba s character experiences visions of paranormal experiences and suffers from mirrored self misidentification, referred to in the story as cellular memory .
