Types of delusions are misleading

I been into page 89 of DSM V journal, the one from 2013. Not sure where these categories is coming from. They actually have a long list of types, in diagnose F22.

David Graeber

the Criticism section sites critiques from David Graeber and gives his book Bullshit Jobs as a source but delusions are never mentioned in that nor is it even related to the topic of the book. I couldn't find any source of him talking about this topic so I replaced the citation with a [citation needed]. If a citation can't be found I recommend the paragraph be replaced by some else's critiques oh how delusions are understood. I can recommend Mircea Eliade, R. D. Laing, and/or Michel Foucault.

Psychosis, delusions, and metaphors

I have not put anymore time than simply searching these three words online together, and it seems that there are numerous* articles analyzing the interconnections between these three, and I found it a shame that the Wikipedia apparently (ctrl + f) does not even mention this at all!

Note:I am not a professional, I cannot edit to add to such articles, but I thought it would be necessary to notify and have this be added on Wikipedia pages on psychosis, delusions, and on metaphors. Given how closely related psychosis and delusions are, I think even articles that do not directly mention one could have some implications regarding it (I have only checked a few that didn't mention psychosis xor delusions, and ctrl+f has shown there is a link); and hence I thought I should proceed to add this entry to talk pages on the other said articles as well.
