It is based around the condition of paramnesia, where people completely invent imaginary lives. |
|
The term paramnesia was introduced by a German psychiatrist, Emil Kraepelin, in 1886 to denote errors of memory. |
|
This has been renamed reduplicative paramnesia or simply reduplication. |
|
This was important because there had been a debate of the idea in an 1893 special issue of Revue Philosophique of whether one paramnesia alone existed. |
