Folie a trois among two Soviet-Jewish immigrant families to Israel

S Maizel, HY Knobler and R Herbstein
Eitanim Psychiatric Hospital, Hebrew University Medical School, Jerusalem, Israel.

Severe trauma in the past and social maladjustment in the present may be among the precipitating factors for the development of the shared paranoid disorder.
