    Shared paranoid disorder is a relatively rare psychiatric disorder in which paranoid delusions are transferred from one individual to one or more other susceptible person(s) in close association. Folie a deux describes a shared paranoid disorder involving two people and is characterized by a complex dependant relationship between the involved individuals. Provided there is no additional underlying psychopathology, there is a good prognosis for the submissive partner. Here we present a case report and discussion off folie a deux involving a husband and wife. Although folie a deux is a relatively uncommon disorder, it is important to recognize such cases due to the potential for recovery in the submissive partner

    Experimental Evidence for a Glass forming "Stripe Liquid" in the Magnetic Ground State of La1.65Eu0.2Sr0.15CuO4

    We report measurements of the longitudinal (139T11^{139}T_1^{-1}) and transverse (139T21^{139}T_2^{-1}) decay rates of the magnetization of 139^{139}La nuclei performed in a high quality single crystal of La1.65_{1.65}Eu0.2_{0.2}Sr0.15_{0.15}CuO4_{4}. We observe a dramatic slowing of the Cu 3d spins manifested as a sharp increase of both 139T11^{139}T_1^{-1} and 139T21^{139}T_2^{-1} below 30 K. We find that in this temperature range the fluctuations involve a unique time scale τ\tau which diverges as (TTA)1.9(T-T_{\rm A})^{-1.9} with TA5T_{\rm A}\thickapprox 5 K. This behavior is distinct from the continuous freezing observed in underdoped La1x_{1-x}Srx_xCuO4_4 which involves a distribution of energy barriers. By contrast, in La1.65_{1.65}Eu0.2_{0.2}Sr0.15_{0.15}CuO4_{4}, the freezing below 30K is intrinsic to its magnetic ground state and the observed power law supports the existence of a glass forming "charge stripe liquid".Comment: 5 pages, 3 Figures.
