I wonder if this theory about the human ability/tendency to mimic might explain the spread of borderline personality disorder in families. The genetic theory makes perfect sense for children who inherit it from their parents, but this would account for some oddities, like transmission between in-laws. The other example that jumps to mind is, for some reason, mass hysteria.
