Familially accumulated schizophrenia (folie à cinq) in association with Stein-Leventhal syndrome.
The authors describe the psychosis of both parents and their three daughters. The psychosis of the father and three daughters corresponds to the paranoid schizophrenias (more specifically, the affective paraphrenias), while the mother's psychosis is largely the result of induction. All 3 daughters suffer from surgically confirmed Stein-Leventhal syndrome. Such a close association of the two diseases cannot be by chance.
