“The delusional patient simultaneously communicates to us a literal falsity and a metaphorical truth.”
~ Mark L. Ruffalo, psychotherapist
Most of us do the same thing, but usually not to a delusional extent. Literal truth tends to evade us, providing only brief and partial glimpses of it, especially in this age of misinformation. Metaphorical truth more consistently mirrors whatever is going on inside of us and in the world, even if not fact based.
