The syndrome of Capgras

J Todd, K Dewhurst and G Wallis

Three new cases of the syndrome of Capgras are presented. An unusual variant of the syndrome is recorded. It is contended that the definition of the syndrome should be widened to include impersonators who exhibit slight differences from the prototype, and that ambivalence and projection cannot explain all cases. The syndrome is critically reviewed.
