name of mental disease
every now and again, when i'm watching some reality tv show about crimes i'll come across a story about a couple that committed crimes together.
the narrator will explain how one of the two "contaminated" the other... or something along those lines. they'll explain the name of this phenomenon. i want to say that it's a french word that means something like "disease for two"... i know i'm remembering it wrong.
by any chance do any of you know what i'm talking about? what the terminology is?

Re: name of mental disease
I know exactly what you are talking about. Think about Columbine and the killers there. It’s not that common to have a pair of killers.
However, I do not know the terminology. I just know that one has more influence over the other.
