De Clerambault's syndrome

Synonyms: erotomania (a delusion of passion), erotomanic delusion, paranoia erotica, psychose passionelle.

* A form of paranoid delusion with an amorous quality. The patient, often a single woman, believes that an exalted person is in love with her.
* This condition was originally described by de Clerambault1 as having phase of hope followed by a phase of resentment.
* The victim of the delusion, with whom only a brief acquaintance exists, is usually older and of higher social status. The victim may well be a public figure in politics, on the screen, stage or television, or is often a doctor or a priest.
* There has usually been little or virtually no contact and nothing has been done to stimulate or encourage such a belief.
* The victim is at first unaware but is later likely to be embarrassed by telephone calls, letters and amorous advances.

History Gaetan Gatian de Clerambault (1872-1934) was born near Paris and became successful in both medicine and art (many of his paintings are now in museums). His work in psychiatry focused onhallucinations and delusions. He suggested that "mental automatism" might be responsible for experiences of hallucination 2.
De Clerambault described Clerambault's syndrome in 1927 as "psychose passionelle".

Stockholm Syndrome is where prison wardens or victims of crime fall in love with whichever prisoner they're dealing with.

More accurately, the captive empathising with thier captor (maybe even falling in love).

No idea if the same thing applies in the medical profession, though...
