Keyword(s):
A short historical review of folie à deux and three sub-groups, folie imposée, folie simultanée and folie communiquée. A detailed account of the relationship of an eighteen year old male with his mother as well as pertinent information concerning other members of the family. The discussion involves a prolonged case of folie à deux where separation fails to resolve the induced psychosis. There is an implied inference that the son was really never free of his mother. The case includes one other member of the family who accepts the mother's paranoid delusion to form a folie à trois and a final supposition of folie à famille is suggested.
