| Popis: | Erotomania is a relatively rare delusional syndrome, typically seen in heterosexual women of middle-age or beyond. This is the first reported occurrence in an adolescent, and one of very few involving homosexual orientation. A detailed case report is discussed in the context of adolescent developmental phenomena, including “crushes”, identity formation, and the resolution of sexual orientation. The presentation of erotomania as alleged sexual abuse, and a possible etiologic role for childhood sexual trauma, are considered. |
