Abstract
In two cases of folie à trois, affecting two Soviet-Jewish families who emigrated to Israel, both elderly parents in both cases shared the paranoid delusional beliefs of an only child. 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.
