Co-Existence of Incubus and Capgras Syndromes

Abstract

Since de Clérambault (1920) described the syndrome of erotomania, there have been several reports in the literature amplifying various aspects of the condition. However, it was only recently that Raschka (1979) reported two cases of what he labelled the ‘incubus syndrome‘. This syndrome is a variant of erotomania and the feature central to it is a delusion of imposed intercourse with an imaginary lover during one's sleep.
