Doubles of the self have been reported in literature even before the syndrome was named by Christodoulou.[1] The first patient with symptoms of Capgras syndrome, another delusional misidentification syndrome, was reported in 1923 by Joseph Capgras and Jean Reboul-Lachaux. This patient, however, also experienced the delusion of subjective doubles,[8] but the appearance of doubles of the self were not addressed until Christodoulou's article in 1978.[3]
