Overview
[...]recently, the profession has mostly responded to the challenge of factitious illness by evasion or rejection. [...]as he writes, “In factitious illness… the truth is discoverable only in terms of an account of the fabric of the lives of the participants… the participants, in my view, include the professionals who have been caught up (or out) in the fiction”. [...]does this volume meet the challenge posed by these extraordinary behaviours and the divides they cause, with a challenge, indeed, to health care professionals themselves. [...]in Chapter 14, the effect of these behaviours on health care staff, and ways of management and damage limitation are discussed.
