![]() More rigorous clinical trials need to be conducted. These recommendations have only been validated in individual patients and families. What is recommended in the literature is to empathically elicit the details of the content of delusions, to address the accompanying emotions rather than the logic of the presented argument, to teach self-soothing techniques, and to monitor behavior with respect to its safety. ![]() Findings are that there is no evidence for differentiated psychosocial treatment for men and women with delusional disorder. This review explores three areas: (a) specific treatments for men and women (b) recommended psychological approaches by health professionals, especially in early encounters with patients with DD and (c) recommended psychoeducation for families. Because the content of men’s and women’s delusions sometimes differ, it has been suggested that optimal interventions for the two sexes may also differ. ![]() The aim of this narrative review is to select from the clinical literature the psychosocial interventions that appear to work best for these conditions and to see whether similar strategies can be modeled or taught to family members so that tensions at home are reduced. They are also difficult for family members to bear. ![]() Delusional disorders (DD) are difficult conditions for health professionals to treat successfully. ![]()
