title: Homosexual delusional jealousy in two heterosexual women.
abstract: The present paper focuses on two patients suffering from delusional jealousy with an uncommon feature. Both cases are women who developed a homosexual delusional jealousy, that is, 'the phantom other' is a person of the same gender as the individual supposedly having an affair. The discussion centres on the possible sociological aspects and changes in the 'Zeitgeist' that may have favoured the onset of the two reported cases.
