This bibliometric review presents current knowledge, limitations, gaps, and recommendations for future studies on extreme, overvalued, and delusion-like beliefs. The review highlighted significant blurring of concepts between extreme, overvalued, and delusion-like beliefs and strongly held ideas that were striated along disciplinary lines. A need for greater consensus on the definitions and overlap of these terms was identified and discussed. By clarifying conceptual ambiguities, this review provides a foundation for developing cross-disciplinary consensus in threat assessment
