title: [An interesting example of procedural and therapeutic failure].
abstract: Forty-eighth-year old woman experienced paranoid syndrome for the first time. Her twenty-seven-year old daughter, living with her, adopted pathological sensations. The patient was hospitalized by order of court. The ruling was based on the patient's husband's application and a psychiatrist's certificate. The daughter of the patient still maintained her pathological beliefs, adopted from her ill mother. What is more, similar beliefs were adopted by the second, twenty-eighth-year old daughter. Hospitalization lasted only 11 days because the husband withdrew his application and, by order of court, the patient was discharged from hospital. She now lives with two psychotically induced daughters and her husband, who is under great psychical pressure in such circumstances.
