Recenzii

"Marc Feldman's advocacy and educational writing on MBP is fresh, personable and impassioned. That such a collection of information has been brought together in one successful book is a benefit and gift to anyone needing to understand why another would play sick."-- Julie Gregory, author of Sickened: The Memoir of a Munchausen by Proxy Childhood

"In this masterful and unprecedented book, Dr. Marc Feldman has captured the essence of feigned illness and the underlying motivations for assuming the sick role. The origins and impact of 'playing sick' are clearly depicted with practical advice for those affected and a sensible approach to healing."-- David G. Folks, Chair, Department of Psychiatry, University of Nebraska at Omaha
Playing Sick is a “must read” for anyone who has ever been fooled by someone who injures himself or herself. It is not so technical that the layperson could not understand it and is detailed enough for physicians to benefit from it. The text flows smoothly and is easy to read. The author, Marc D. Feldman, M.D., a professor of psychiatry at the University of Alabama, has extensive experience with patients who create their own illnesses, and this is his fourth book on the subject. He draws from his considerable knowledge of these patients to give useful recommendations for dealing with suspected feigned illness and provides some hope for successful recovery through treatment for those patients who want to give up their deceptions.” Stephen M. Adams, reviewed in Primary Care Companion, The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry. 2008; 10(4): 335.
