Article Synopsis
- Shared psychotic disorder with Capgras syndrome is rare, with limited research; a case involving two sisters illustrates its complexities.
- The younger sister, who has schizophrenia, transfers her Capgras delusion to the older sister after their father's death, leading to a violent crime and their involuntary psychiatric admission.
- After initial improvement from treatment, they stop medications, disappear, and years later re-emerge after another violent incident, highlighting the need for effective treatment and continuous support to prevent recurrence and violence.

Collateral informants rated 8,582 18-59-year-old residents of 18 societies on the Adult Behavior Checklist (ABCL). Confirmatory factor analyses tested the fit of the 8-syndrome model to ratings from each society.
