PDFSE | Erotomania is reexamined by an in-depth study of eight patients. There appear to be two main varieties: the phantom lover syndrome, or fixed delusion elaborated around a person who does not exist, and erotomania proper, a recurrent tendency to believe that one is loved by a powerful, prominent man | Although love, in many of its forms, has been called a ±. delusion,1 some forms of love, in particular, have entered the realms of psychopathology: phantom lover syndrome, erotomania," and De Clérambault's syndrome.* There is much overlap in the literature as to precisely what is meant by each of these terms. Having a phantom lover means feeling loved by someone who does not exist. Less extreme perhaps is loving someone who once existed but who has died or moved away and whose death or departure is delusionally denied |

UF - The journal article is about Erotomania through 8 case studies with delusional comorbidity. The hypothesis of this article, drawn from the clinical
