Reduplication and the syndrome of Capgras

Abstract:
THE CONCEPT of reduplication has done much to break down the traditional barriers between behavioral neurology and psychiatry, and to provide a common theme for the study of the delusional misidentification syndromes. This paper describes the features of reduplication that occur in neurological patients, considers their selective and symbolic aspects, their relationship to other disturbances of behavior and to alterations in brain function, and indicates their applicability to the illusion of doubles first described by Joseph Marie Capgras.
