Description

Discover the extraordinary true stories behind factitious disorders and medical deception in this compelling exploration by Dr. Marc Feldman. This Routledge book examines people who fabricate or induce illness and injury to satisfy deep emotional needs, revealing how doctors, family members, and friends become caught in costly and potentially deadly webs of deceit. From manipulation tactics to psychological motivations, the book provides insight into why individuals go to extreme lengths to maintain false illness narratives. Essential reading for healthcare professionals, family members seeking to understand deceptive behaviour, and anyone interested in the darker aspects of human psychology and medical ethics. A thought-provoking examination of how the desire for sympathy and attention can drive people to extraordinary and dangerous extremes.
