CAPGRAS SYNDROME

Course overview

Capgras syndrome (CS) is a rare delusional condition characterized by a belief that a familiar person (e.g., spouse, family member) has been replaced by an identical looking imposter. The double is usually a key figure in the person’s life, such as a husband or wife. This continuing education module is designed to give the reader/learner an increased understanding of CS, its clinical presentation, symptoms, and treatment, and to aid in caring for patients with this diagnosis. Readers may explore any or all of the topics. One contact hour of continuing education credit is available for those who successfully complete the post-test and evaluation form.
