The Australian and New Zealand journal of psychiatry, 2010Co-Authors: Joseph Mergui, Sol Jaworowski, David S.

In this article we present this syndrome in a non Psychotic context.Method: We report a case of induced obsessive-compulsive Disorder (OCD) in a married couple. Six months after the deterioration in the patient’s OCD, his wife developed the same symptoms with no preceding history of an Axis I Disorder. Neither spouse demonstrated Psychotic symptomatology.

Shared Psychotic Disorder with Sexual Delusions
Archives of Sexual Behavior, 2012Co-Authors: Michal Lew-starowiczAbstract:Shared Psychotic Disorder (SPD) is perceived as a relatively rare and poorly understood psychiatric phenomenon. Patients sharing sexual delusions may refer to sex therapists looking for treatment of an alleged sexual pathology. This might cause significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. The aim of this article was to discuss diagnostic and management difficulties of SPD with special interest in patients sharing sexual delusions. PubMed selective search was provided for publications with keywords including SPD, induced delusional Disorder, folie à deux, and induced psychosis. One case is presented and discussed according to recent diagnostic criteria and the medical and legal issues of the therapy.
