Liceman seems to be asserting that even if his leaders are all schizo
and/or mad as hatters, it doesn't mean he is.
When some might argue that Liceman and other "hotties" delusional
beliefs are symptomatic of a disorder the DSM defines as "Shared
psychotic Disorder".
http://www.emedicine.com/med/byname...ic-disorder.htm
Shared psychotic disorder, or folie =E0 deux, is a rare delusional
disorder shared by 2 or, occasionally, more people with close emotional
ties. An extensive review of the literature reveals cases of folie =E0
trois, folie =E0 quatre, folie =E0 famille (all family members), and even
a case involving a dog.
Table 1. Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth
Edition (DSM-IV) and International Statistical Classification of
Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10R) Criteria
DSM-IV Diagnostic Criteria for 297.3 Shared Psychotic Disorder ICD-10
Diagnostic Criteria for F.24 Induced Delusional Disorder (Folie =E0
Deux)
A delusion develops in an individual in the context of a close
relationship with another person or persons, who have an already
established delusion.
The delusion is similar in content to that of the person who already
has an established delusion.
The disturbance is not better accounted for by another psychotic
disorder (eg, schizophrenia) or a mood disorder with psychotic features
and is not due to the direct physiological effects of a substance (eg,
drug abuse, medication) or a general medical condition.
Two people share the same delusion or delusional system and support
one another in this belief.
