Abstract

We present a case of folie àdeux in immigrants, for whom the process of immigration changed the intrafamilial dependencies. Folie àdeux only appeared in the previously dominant member once she became the dependent member. Follow-up showed resolution of the folie àdeux with no change in the recent reversal of roles.
