Conclusion
A case offolie à trois is presented for the literature. It is a clear representation of a paranoid situation involving three persons living in close relationship with each other. It is atypical in that the primary agent is the youngest of the three persons involved. Two other cases are reviewed, onefolie à trois and the otherfolie à cinq, to show by review their similarity to the present case.
