Aimed at psychiatrists, psychologists, neuroscientists and literary scholars, this study of the doppelganger phenomenon takes an interdisciplinary approach through antiquity, fiction, psychopathology, and neuroscience. It aims to establish the experience of the self, as well as how psychopathology reveals the mechanisms that shape our reality.

This text is an authoritative account of the rarest and most unusual psychiatric syndromes. Bridging medicine and the humanities, it includes the history and descriptions of such conditions, clinical case histories, and discussions of the causes and underlying explanatory mechanisms. It is a valuable resource for psychiatrists and researchers.
