Book Disorders of Simulation

Download or read book Disorders of Simulation written by Grant L. Hutchinson and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An essential desk reference that answers the basic questions all clinicians must ask when faced with an apparently simulating patient: What is the next step once simulation is suspected? Should the valuation be standard or modified? What modifications should be made? Should the patient be confronted? How can the clinicians know when his or her suspicions are wrong? What constitutes legitimate proof of simulation? Is the patient consciously faking? This book goes a long way toward undoing the confusion engendered by DSM's inadequate definitions, minimal criteria, and vague standards for the three Disorders of Simulation: Malingering, Factitious Disorder, and Compensation Neurosis.

Download or read book Dying to be Ill written by Marc D. Feldman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-11 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of us can recall a time when we pretended to be sick to reap the benefits that go along with illness. By playing sick, we gained sympathy, care, and attention, and were excused from our responsibilities. Though doing so on occasion is considered normal, there are those who carry their deceptions to the extreme. In this book, Dr. Marc Feldman describes people’s strange motivations to fabricate or induce illness or injury to satisfy deep emotional needs. Doctors, family members, and friends are lured into a costly, frustrating, and potentially deadly web of deceit. From the mother who shaves her child’s head and tells her community he has cancer, to the co-worker who suffers from a string of incomprehensible "tragedies," to the false epilepsy victim who monopolizes her online support group, "disease forgery" is ever-present in the media and in many people’s lives. In Dying to be Ill: True Stories of Medical Deception, Dr. Feldman, with the assistance of Gregory Yates, has chronicled this fascinating world as well as the paths to healing. With insight developed from 25 years of hands-on experience, Dying to be Ill is sure to stand as a classic in the field.

  • Author : Marc D. Feldman
  • Publisher : Routledge
  • Release : 2013-08-21
  • ISBN : 1136748830
  • Pages : 276 pages

Download or read book Playing Sick written by Marc D. Feldman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-08-21 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taken from bizarre cases of real patients, Playing Sick? is the first book to chronicle the devastating impact of phony illnesses--factitious disorders and Munchausen syndrome--on patients and caregivers alike. Based on years of research and clinical practice, Playing Sick? provides the clues that can help practitioners and family members recognize these disorders, avoid invasive procedures, and sort out the motives that drive people to hurt themselves and deceive others. With insight and years of hands-on experience, Feldman shows how to get these emotionally ill patients the psychiatric help they need.

Book Malingering and Illness Deception

Download or read book Malingering and Illness Deception written by Peter W. Halligan and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite a rich and turbulent history spanning several centuries, malingering continues to be a controversial and neglected clinical condition that has significant implications for medical, social, legal and insurance interests. Estimates of malingering - the wilful, intentional attempt to simulate or exaggerate illness in the pursuit of a consciously desired end - vary greatly, despite the fact that malingering is believed to contribute substantially to fraudulent health care and social welfare costs. There is little consensus about what would constitute a coherent assessment of malingering, and base rates have been difficult to establish. Malingering remains a difficult attribution to make not least since it falls outside the remit of the formal psychiatric classifications. Labelling a person as a malingerer however, has significant medico-legal, personal and economic ramifications for both subject and accuser. Viewed in this way, malingering is not so much illness behavior in search of a disease, as the manifestation of a conflict between personal and social values. The aim of this book is to effect an integration of the different medical, forensic, neuropsychological, legal and social perspectives. The book provides an overview of progress in disparate fields relevant to the subject, including how recent social and neuroscience findings regarding volition, intentional states and theory of mind may have implications for informing detection, management and ultimately its explanation.

Download or read book Somatoform Disorders written by Michael Trimble and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-02-26 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People with somatoform disorder (which used to be known as hysteria) present with a range of symptoms that typically last for years and can't be traced to a specific physical cause. Such symptoms may include frequent headaches; back pain; abdominal cramping and pelvic pain; pain in the joints, legs and arms; chest or abdominal pain, and gastrointestinal problems. This book is an in-depth, clinically orientated review of the somatoform disorders and related clinical presentations (such as chronic fatigue syndrome) and how they present in a medico-legal setting. It is aimed at both clinicians and lawyers who deal with injury claims where these disorders impact much more frequently than is generally recognised.
