Extract

During the last century the fact that two people share a psychosis has been recognized as constituting a problem of psychiatry. Although quite a number of cases have been published, we were surprised at the relatively small number. The subject lends itself admirably to systematization, and the classification which has been accepted by most writers is the one evolved by French authors.
