"The Cognitive Neuropsychology of Schizophrenia" is good though fairly technical.
"Cognitive Therapy for Delusions" is an interesting account of the recent efforts to treat people with delusions with Cognitive Therapy.
It used to be thought that delusions were immune to evidence to the contrary (by definition) and thus it was pointless to attempt to argue someone out of their delusion...
They reckon they are having some degree of success with cognitive therapy, however. Might be worth a look (perhaps perhaps).
