Auszug

Die Psychopathologie beschreibt Wahn als

  1. 1.

    eine falsche Überzeugung, die eine Person angenommen hat und deren Wahrheit ihr unmittelbar evident ist. Die Person hat den Wahngedanken nicht als Wissen, sondern als persönliche überzeugung.

  2. 2.

    Ihre Umgebung teilt in den meisten Fällen die Überzeugung nicht und im kulturellen Umfeld wird die Meinung für falsch gehalten.

  3. 3.

    Die Person hat keine Einsicht in die Fehlerhaftigkeit der Annahme.

In der Entwicklung der Psychopathologie ist diese logische Definition von Wahn vorgeschlagen worden, die klar und klinisch anwendbar ist. Viele Untersucher und Neurowissenschaft ler wenden jedoch ein, dass eine logisch unanfechtbare Wahndefinition allein nicht weiterhilft. Wir haben es beim Wahn mit der Spitze eines Eisbergs zu tun. Unter den klinisch klaren Fällen von beispielsweise Verfolgungswahn findet sich danach eine Basis des Eisbergs in der Bevölkerung mit vielen Fällen von Wahngedanken, die mehr oder weniger alltagsrelevant sind.
