Clinical lycanthropy is a rare psychiatric syndrome that involves a delusion that the affected person can transform into, has transformed into, or is, a non-human animal.[1] Its name is associated with the mythical condition of lycanthropy, a supernatural affliction in which humans are said to physically shapeshift into wolves.[2] The term is used by researchers mostly in the broader sense of transformation into animals in general (that, strictly speaking, is described by terms therianthropy or zoanthropy).[3]
