“…The authors found that highly suggestible individuals selectively spent more time washing their hands when the substance was considered potentially harmful and their feeling of knowing had been blocked and experienced less satisfaction from handwashing when their feeling of knowing had been blocked (Woody, Lewis, et al, 2005). In another line of research, hypnotic suggestion has been used to produce compelling analogues of a variety of clinical delusions including mirrored-self misidentification (Connors et al, 2012) and folie à deux (Freeman, Cox, & Barnier, 2013) (for a review, see (Connors, 2015)). Some of these studies have further used this approach to test predictions derived from specific models of delusions (Langdon & Coltheart, 2000).…”

Hypnosis is a unique form of top-down regulation in which verbal suggestions are capable of eliciting pronounced changes in a multitude of psychological phenomena. Hypnotic suggestion has been widely used both as a technique for studying basic science questions regarding human consciousness but also as a method for targeting a range of symptoms within a therapeutic context. Here we provide a synthesis of current knowledge regarding the characteristics and neurocognitive mechanisms of hypnosis. We review evidence from cognitive neuroscience, experimental psychopathology, and clinical psychology regarding the utility of hypnosis as an experimental method for modulating consciousness, as a model for studying healthy and pathological cognition, and as a therapeutic vehicle. We also highlight the relationships between hypnosis and other psychological phenomena, including the broader domain of suggestion and suggestibility and conclude by identifying the most salient challenges confronting the nascent cognitive neuroscience of hypnosis and outlining future directions for research on hypnosis and suggestion.

“…In relationships between individuals, the inducer usually has certain characteristics that place it in a dominant position. As reported in other case reports, inducers usually have an older age, higher intelligence with aggressive characters that are strong and highly suggestive while recipients are younger, dependent and lower intelligence inducers [1], [12].…”

BACKGROUND:Shared psychotic disorder was first introduced in the 19th century in France with the name Folie à deux. Since then, the concept of Folie à deux has been developed and produces several subtypes in France. In DSM, this disorder is called Shared Psychotic Disorder, and in ICD-10, it is called Induced Delusional Disorder. However, some of the classic subtypes of Folie à deux are not included in the above categories.CASE REPORT:We found a case of shared psychotic disorder between a 38-year-old male inducer, a Batak tribe with two female recipients, 34 and 36 years from the Batak tribe. They were found to share the same delusions and hallucinations, and inducers could make recipients into trance conditions. These three individuals did not get along with the surrounding community and often carried out activities and perform rituals together.CONCLUSION:Overall, our case has some unique features of folie à deux. In this case, there is a trance condition that can be induced that have not been reported in the literature or case reports related to Folie à deux.

“…Le rôle de la suggestibilité en sein d’une relation transférentielle reste une piste psychopathologique intéressante. Un model empirique de FD utilisant l’hypnose a montré que chez des patients fortement hypnotisables des idées délirantes ont été transmises expérimentalement [12], et il est légitime de se demander si ce n’est pas une condition nécessaire pour opérer toute transmission délirante. Nous discutons également le degré de parenté avec un certain nombre d’autres phénomènes psychiques regroupées sous le nom de folies contagieuses.…”

Le trouble psychotique partagé ou Folie à deux (FD) est une entité rare et controversée qui pose des problèmes d’ordre phénoménologique, nosographique et psychopathologique. Elle interroge la nature du délire et sa survenue en dehors d’une structure psychotique ainsi que la question de la contagion du symptôme en psychiatrie. Nous proposons l’analyse sémiologique d’un cas intrafamilial de Folie à deux, cas dont la particularité clinique est le partage de symptômes délirants mais aussi d’éléments psychotiques non délirant (déficitaires). A travers quoi nous revenons sur les caractéristiques épidémiologiques et les facteurs communs avec les autres cas rapportés dans la littérature dans différentes cultures. Nous dressons ensuite l’historique de l’entité et son évolution au fil des classifications depuis sa première description par Legrand jusqu’au DSM 5. Et de là, nous soulignons le caractère insuffisant d’une approche purement descriptive et mettons l’accent sur le lien possible avec d’autres situations cliniques plus fréquentes avec comme point commun la transmission entre deux ou plusieurs personnes de symptômes psychiques. Puis, nous proposons une réflexion psychopathologique qui s’axe essentiellement sur le partage du symptôme et non sa nature tout en interrogeant la fonction du délire au sein d’un couple délirant.
