Uncommon condition characterized by uncritical acceptance by one person of the delusinal beliefs of another.
Although most cases or review questions use husban-wife relationship to describe this condition, the most common cases invlove sister-sister relationship followed by mother-child, then father-child n husband-wife combinations.

Yes ...I was just about to place a multiple choice question on that...... smiling face
Okay what do u think the treatment is?

  #3

separation

  #4

Yes Did you know it was also called folie a deux....that is like madness for Two....French

Separation is effective for the non-dominant person and the other person ..... Treat his or her psychosis.....

Another thing.....thanx ...i didn't know about the predominance being in sister-sister relationships

I am learning more and more Psych as the day goes by :wink:

  #5

yes did know bout the french name folie a deux, i was gonna mention it then i didnt wanna sound too obnoxious

  #6

There is nothing really obnoxious about providing medical information...This is all about helping eachother make medical material easy to understand and share information.......Some important virtue of humanity

I don't think you shld feel wierd about anything.....as long as no one is mocking no one......this is a stimulus to learn more and more

Hi, I'm trying to do a report on Shared Psychotic Disorder although it is hard to find information on it. All I can find are various definitions which aren't enough to learn from. Do you know where I could find more information on this rare disorder?..a website, or much better a book? If so, please post whatever ideas you may have.
Thanks
