3. One class case of glass delusion occurred in 1930s Holland, and this time it involved a normal woman instead of a mad king
According to the old case notes from the 1930s, the woman was treated at the Leiden institution after telling her doctor that she felt her legs were made of glass. She also thought her back was made from glass. She hated people touching her and was becoming increasingly reclusive. At least this case has a happy ending. Professor Lameijin’s research found that she made a full recovery. Evidently, psychiatric treatment in 1930s Netherlands was far better than it was in the 16th century.
