Vintage Psychiatric Interview: Chronic Persecutory Delusions & Delusions of Grandeur

Subtitled in English. This film presents a 62-year-old man suffering from a persecutory delirium, expressing his absolute conviction of the threats and lawsuits that he believes he has been the victim of. Note that this subject converts his anxiety into a mystical themed delirium.

Extremely.

[@domiro8156]

Pauvre homme.... Quelle souffrance pour lui de vivre un tel delire!!!

[@BistroGlicerin3]

Imagine, after all, at the end, he was right ...

[@JohnSmith-ys4nl]

Well, I mean, the Freemasons are pretty sneaky.

[@Fritz_Maisenbacher]

Always very easy to call someone crazy ............ and ? Who is right at the very end ?

This and all of the psychiatric interviews you’ve uploaded are truly fascinating. I watch all of them with rapt attention and I thank you very much for them. I’m quite interested in something, and I hope very much that you can shed some light on this question which is absolutely not meant as a criticism in any way. I’m curious to know why the personal medical histories of these individuals, many of whom may still be living, isn’t as zealously guarded as I would have expected them to be. I’m writing from the perspective of an American in the early 21st century and I realize that all of the stringent protections I enjoy had to be fought for, and that people everywhere and at all times don’t benefit from the same rights. Still, it comes as a great surprise to me that such intensely personal documents as these are available to view by the general public. I will appreciate any observations you or anyone might make. Thanks very much.

-Laws are not retroactive - HIPAA and analogous legislation in other countries is a more recent phenomenon. -People can consent to share their medical histories, including mentally ill people. Take even the Dr. Phil show for example -Films are often re-enactments based on real or composite cases for teaching purposes -Pre 1950s films were quite likely filmed without consent of the subject, based on my observations.

@@MentalHealthTreatment I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to reply. Thanks very much! As I indicated, I had no wish at all to challenge you. I was simply very curious. Thanks again, and please continue sharing these with us!

[@MentalHealthTreatment]

@@GrantTarredus Oh, I didn't take it as such, I just reply very matter of factly because that's how I write I guess. In any case, even if it may be technically permissable to publish such films, is it the right, or the ethical thing to do? I don't know the answer to that. The films were typically intended for professionals audiences that would have had a relevant background. Mass viewing was probably never envisioned... Unless someone make a point of pulling these films from archives and making them available on an alternative medium, they will be lost to time. Overall I think there is a small net positive in bringing them to light.

[@GrantTarredus]

@@MentalHealthTreatment I think you are exactly right about that. Another viewer recently commented on one of your uploads - and maybe it was this same video - saying that he or she never watches these for voyeuristic pleasure or as entertainment, but always with keen interest and great compassion for our fellows. I’m paraphrasing a remark I only barely recall, so I may have altered the viewer’s sentiments somewhat but I came close. In any event, the same goes for me and I feel confident that the same holds true for all of your viewers. Again, thank you for these and for your time!

I think he was a soldier. This poor man is breaking my heart. Sometimes i so much wish i could find out what eventually happened with these patients... 🥺

[@villebooks]

Aftermath of Algerian-French-war "Guerre d’Algérie", I see. Possible, he was soldier.

[@ski6703]

I thought the same. And the use of psychiatry and spiritism and psychedelics, mind control tactics, there's truth in his story, mixed with confusion from some mental stress NOT naturally induced, medicinally induced, 'm sure-to take the whole thingy further,

[@MrTruckerf]

"Because there are more than seven people who would give anything to see me dead." I kind of believe that remark. I don't even know him and they can add me to the list.

He seems fit for congress

Perfect 😂🎯

[@MikeDial]

It's actually hard to keep up with everything he asserts. It would make your head spin.

[@rosesippel2932]

Interesting

[@natgutierrez111]

I can not believe that all the things this man said, were lies...

[@ericconnor8419]

He is not lying, but they did not happen in reality. He is certain he is telling the truth, but if you watch him you see he is very flat, and has almost no expression on his face or voice and he is fixated with the number 3.

[@heliosgnosis2744]

@@ericconnor8419 What does having a fixation on 3 a symptom of? Just curious

[@michaelkobylko2969]

@@heliosgnosis2744 It's a facet of his psychosis. He thinks there is some sort of special meaning to it. It's a delusion. It could happen in any psychotic disorder.

[@venkataaraadhya]

I love this guy.

[@tfhrs]

Hi i have a question: where did you find all of the vintage psychiatric interviews (or all of the vintage stuff in general) please dont ignore me❤

[@cloisterene]

Everything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.

[@littleredwitch]

😂. That would be a long brief.

Oh dear god, he looks like the human version of toad from the wind in the willows

He makes millions of dollars & his wife cleans houses - right

[@mileskeanu528]

Dont seem imagine sounds real to me but who knows

[@Jennifer-qo4kz]

I’m wondering if this gentleman may have Alzheimer’s or PTSD?

[@nunyafunyuns]

This guy could talk for hours I reckon, talking about one calamity to the next as he sees it.

[@richardbolitho]

A certain president could learn from this guy a thing or two 😂

[@davidlincolnbrooks]

This could be a tricky case. This man can certainly pass himself off as believable... at first, anyway.... I wonder if this man was able to be helped, back in the 1960's, with the medications they had back then? I wonder if he was permitted to live in free society, or whether he was committed long-term to a facility?

[@MonstroMacabro]

Wow sounds like a Trump supporter

[@w.okkerse915]

Or a fanatic climate change activist
