The Three Christs of Ypsilanti

In this book, Milton Rokeach documents his experiment where he brought together three patients from Ypsilanti State Hospital, each believing they were Jesus Christ.

The study aimed to explore how their delusions might change when confronted with others claiming the same identity.

Rokeach also attempted to manipulate their beliefs through letters from imaginary authority figures, though the experiment ultimately did not reduce their delusions.
