Abstract

Every year some 50 tourists visiting Jerusalem are hospitalized following psychotic episodes. The majority of these patients are from religious backgrounds, and Jerusalem's special place in the Jewish and Christian religions appears to influence the nature of the delusionary experiences. This report examines the factors involved in this phenomenon.
