Paranoia is as common as depression, but most of us know little about it. Drawing on the latest scientific research, this accessible book answers the key questions about paranoia - from how we can deal with it, to whether we living in a uniquely paranoid age - and highlights for the first time the central role of paranoia in our world today.
Are we living in a uniquely paranoid age? Catalysed by the threat of terrorism, fears about others have reached a new intensity. The roll call of apparent dangers seems to increase by the day: muggers, child abductors, drug dealers, hoodied teenagers. Crime has apparently reached such high levels that CCTV cameras are required in every town centre, and parents are so fearful that many children never go out alone.
Until recently, no one suspected just how common paranoia was. But new research suggests that around a quarter of us have regular paranoid thoughts, and probably lots more have them occasionally. Paranoia is so prevalent that there>'s a very good chance that all of us will, at some point in our lives, be among the 25%.
Yet, although paranoia is as common as depression or anxiety, most of us know almost nothing about it. What is paranoia? What causes it? Are some people more prone to paranoia than others? Are we more paranoid now than we used to be? How should we deal with our paranoid thoughts? And how can we reduce the amount of paranoia in our society? Co-written by one of the world>'s leading psychologists of paranoia, and drawing on the latest scientific research, this lively and accessible book answers these key questions, highlighting for the first time the central role of paranoia in our world today.

This volume represents a major step forward in advancing the understanding of delusions. - From the foreword by Aaron T. Beck
'The penultimate chapter presents and overview of Freeman and Garety's updated model of delusion formation and maintenance. The model is an attempt to integrate all their work on emotions and cognitive biases, but also uses Maher's idea that delusions are explanations of experience. ... The richness of the model may be helpful to therapists planning interventions in that the model suggests many areas that could be the focus of work.
The majority of chapters draw on material in already published articles, yet the authors manage to bring these together by re-writing and adding material, so producing a coherent whole. Whether one agrees or disagrees with specific aspects of Freeman and Garety's model, this book is a very important contribution, is presented with exemplary clarity, and is work that researchers and practitioners will need to know.' - John Rhodes, Consultant Clinical Psychologist, Haringey Adult Mental Health, in Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapy, Vol. 34 Autumn 2006.
