Abstract
Psychotic disorders may be concealed behind outer manifestations that give little or no suggestion of anything so serious. The traditional psychiatric criteria for diagnosis and classification are seldom helpful and often misleading in such instances. The seriousness of the masked disorder is often overlooked because peripheral functioning and outer appearance simulate so well all that is demanded by current definitions of sanity.
