Hey all-

This might be beyond the scope of this board, but I need some help understanding.

I have read a great deal about delusions, distortions and psychosis. I still can't really figure out what the deal is. How does one differentiate really between the three when assessing a person and what they are experiencing?

I know the definitions. Here is a quick and dirty http://www.suite101.com/content/psychos ... ons-a11710

But I can't distinguish between a delusion and a distortion -

if an example would help, I would be happy to provide....
